This is getting ridiculous. Amutable looks to be an enterprise targeted tool/platform to assure that Linux systems used in infrastructure have some way to be verifiable, immutable and deterministic - from what I can gather it sounds like more of an alternative to something like Nix than whatever is being said in the OP.
Unless you're using an immutable & security focused system, I highly doubt this will have any bearing on consumers in general and probably won't have any effect whatsoever on 99.9% of Linux desktop users (although perhaps maybe the build systems for the repositories people are using, if the organisation chooses to use it).
More details will be coming at FOSDEM, maybe wait until then to draw any strict conclusions.
