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.
