Judging from past WWDC events, no. Sessions about MacOS internals, or operating MacOS at scale are lightly attended. AFAICT, there have been no posts on HN about the new firmlinks file type which made that possible, and nobody in any sessions I attended really seemed to notice how fucked it would be when Catalina went to read only root.
