It seems like both distributions in the current 'immutable distributions' category are moving beyond the immutable branding.

Fedora:

Thirdly, this nice branding term is also a more accurate way of talking about how rpm-ostree works. Fedora Atomic spins are not actually immutable. There are ways to get around the read-only aspects of the implementation even though it is much harder. The nature of the OS, where updates are only implemented when they successfully build and you can rollback or rebase between core host systems, is better described by atomicity than immutability.

Nix:

Added a note "Atomic distributions (sometimes also referred to as immutable distributions)..." to account for both cases - otherwise LGTM. I do think "immutable" will be the much more commonly used term for quite some time though.
