I know there's a lot going on here, so I put together
https://github.com/cgwalters/dnfimage-config
as a demonstration system to show this all works today.  (Though there's a lot 
left to do)

To say this another way...I really, really wish I had a time machine to go back and 
announce *this* instead of doing Fedora Atomic Host way back in the day.  If when Docker 
had come out (before Kubernetes, before podman, before CoreOS) I wish I'd said "hey 
this container stuff is cool, why don't we make bootable host operating systems 
configurable via containers too").  Oh well, better late than never!

(And yes, we're not the first to this nowadays, but...first, this path gives a seamless 
upgrade for all the existing ostree-based systems out there, and second, you absolutely 
can continue to do "dnf install cowsay" or whatever client side on standalone 
systems like desktops and homelab servers, you aren't obligated to tie your an installed 
OS to external build infrastructure)

I just wanted to throw in my two cents on this, that I absolutely love the idea. We all wish we had Way Back machines.
