Thanks for your perspective. It would be good to mention some of that on the About page.
It's great that you focus on testing and stability, but incompatibilities and bugs will still creep through. There are infinite combinations of hardware, software and configuration, and realistically, you can't guarantee that an `apk upgrade` will be 100% safe every time for all users. It's in those situations that a snapshot-based rollback mechanism saves the day.
I'm not trying to diminish the value of the work you and your team are doing. All of that is commendable. I just don't think we can ignore the benefits of atomic upgrades and safe rollbacks that tools like Nix provide. All distros should have some form of this, especially those that advertise reliability as a primary feature.
