There are enough significant layout differences, especially the wholesale switch to systemd and the replacement of "/bin" with a symlink to "/usr/bin" that it's going to create a lot of cross compatibility and software porting issues. I'm not looking forward to that part. I'm also afraid to see that I've not yet seen a single reason to *want* it, other than updated libraries for third party software such as perl modules.
