Observations from playing with this

Just thought I'd provide some feedback for you all.

-First of all, this documentation is class leading: https://pantheon.io/docs/guides/build-tools/ - a fantastic walk-through that made setting this up clear. Huge leaps up from a lot of the other Pantheon documentation I've read.

-The CLI prompt on installation says, Enter a password you would like to use to log in to your test site. That language seems outdated (if you going to move this into a 1.x release and was confusing, as I wasn't sure this was my root WP user pw.

-Using this release ties into empty-wordpress upstream it looks like. I guess that's ok as this is a test bed but is a bit weird because I didn't have access to that upstream and was trying to bump up to 4.9.x. Might want to make note of that somewhere in the docs.

-I pulled the entire stack down with Lando onto my local machine and saw good results. Seeing the Bedrock inspiration, I paired this install with the Roots.io Sage 9.x base theme which also has a composer dependency, and pushed everything back into pantheon. Things worked well there.

-The .gitignore file is pretty complex for this project, could use some documentation on what's happening there.

I'm excited to see pantheon pushing WP into the future like this - let me know if I can be of help in testing / developing anything.

Using Composer requires decoupling from the upstream system, you have to use Composer to update core.

Good notes otherwise though!
