A diff of `sudo ls -alO /` on with and without the /.rootro flag in Catalina (Build 19A471t).

Very little difference between the two root directories with the obvious exceptions of the .dbfseventsd and .rootro.

/.rootro was added to make the System Volume read-only on my VM, and /.dbfseventsd is likely different because one of the devices is a new VM.

Definitely interesting to see the sunlnk undeletable flag added to the VM with read-only System volume enabled.
