macOS 10.15 Catalina

Catalina will have a dedicated read-only system volume, and for that Apple have created a new filetype called firmlink. Users won't be able to create firmlinks, except for volume share mount points. Pretty interesting stuff.

Question: will Nimble Commander show the system and data volumes as separate things, or as a combined thing, as Finder does?
I'd actually prefer it if NC showed the system volume to be what it is, a separate volume, so the user will know immediately which files he can touch & modify, and which not. On the other hand, having it appear to be one coherent filesystem is probably nicer.
