     The problem is making this sort of thing efficient and scalable;

+  <p>There are two primary issues.  First, OSTree mandates that the
+    running tree be immutable, and requires construction of a new
+    tree.  This is just a deep mismatch with how package managers are
+    built.  Second, current package managers are totally unaware of
+    the existence of the OSTree repository at /ostree/repo which holds
+    binaries.  A naive implementation would just redownload the packages,
+    which would be quite slow.
