Can someone tell me why #bootc is a replacement for #ostree? It seems like a solid downgrade.

Ostree has better download semantics, while bootc literally... clones container layers. Ostree lets you create temporary and permanent overlays. Bootc asks you to "maintain" your own container image. The temporary overlay solution is to use sysexts overlays, which is far more restrictive.

There are many other points that I'm forgetting right now.

So why is ostree being sunset in favour of bootc again?
