These are not going to happen. With the system disk mounted in /system,
where would the writes to / land to?
BeOS was this way and Haiku always has been this way too. This doesn't
seem to be a problem, we managed to port everything we needed so far,
sometimes with a little patching. If you are not able to properly patch
software to work with this, I suggest you learn about it or let
knowledgeable people do it.

Indeed, package management made /boot/system and /boot/home/config
read-only. / is actually writable but can only store directories and
symlinks - and it's also non-persistant. Both are part of the design of
Haiku and they work fine.

Then you'll have to explain what's wrong. HaikuPorts sounds like what
you requested so far, so the problem must be elsewhere?
