I see two aspects to this discussion: 1) Generic tradeoffs with host configuration 2) The specific discussion about tuned profiles Following 2) if I run: $ cd ~/src/github/openshift/origin $ git describe --tags --always v1.3.-rc1-14-ge9081ae $ git log --follow contrib/tuned/origin-node-host/tuned.conf There are a grand total of *two* commits that aren't mere code reorganization: commit d959d25a405bb28568a17f8bf1b79e7d427ae0dc Author: Jeremy Eder <je...@redhat.com> AuthorDate: Tue Mar 29 10:40:03 2016 -0400 Commit: Jeremy Eder <je...@redhat.com> CommitDate: Tue Mar 29 10:40:03 2016 -0400 bump inotify watches commit c11cb47c07e24bfeec22a7cf94b0d6d693a00883 Author: Scott Dodson <sdod...@redhat.com> AuthorDate: Thu Feb 12 13:06:57 2015 -0500 Commit: Scott Dodson <sdod...@redhat.com> CommitDate: Wed Mar 11 16:41:08 2015 -0400 Provide both a host and guest profile That level of change seems quite sufficient for the slower RHEL cadence, no? Particularly when one considers that something like the inotify watch bump could easily be part of a "tuned updates" in the installer that would live there until the base tuned profile updates.

In this particular case of tuned, I'd argue that Atomic Host should come out of the box with these profiles, and that any async updates could be done via the openshift-ansible installer.
