You have the choice if you want to have a transactional or a
non-transactional system, why should we remove that and force people to
use a transactional system? Today there are no such plans as they
wouldn't make any sense.
But in any case: if we would do that, there will be no migration
process, as this would require a repartitioning of most users harddisks.
