WHY the stupid reactions? It's a perfectly sensible question.....Is chapter 5 a standalone with no references to the previous four chapters and so we will never use the saves we have from 089B? I have not seen a full response to this question though I've seen it asked a couple of times.
In the developer notes it says "Forewarning! Any save files from any previous version of the game are not compatible currently! " - but that does not immediately say it will be possible later
What stupid reactions? this question has been asked a lot and answered a lot, and you still ask... twice no less

There is no reason for saves to be transferable at this point because everything is linear, there is nothing in your old playthrough that is worth bringing into the new game, just like there was nothing that wouldn't be in the savecode for previous versions.
As for the future who knows, you'll have to ask Uber that and he isn't here.
