We're debating this over in CentOS/centos-bootc-dev#27 and I have come to the conclusion that having changes to `/` persist across reboot by default was a bad idea. - It conflicts with any kind of secure boot scenario - Having things only go away on upgrades is in some ways even *more* surprising - The term `transient` implies this There may be a use case in the future for having something like `root.transient = persistent`, but this is just a better default.
