Not exactly.. Currently we have labels (STOP/RUN/INSTALL/UNINSTALL)
that are defined within our docker images. The definition of these
labels is usually some docker run command. What I am proposing is to
be able to have user-defined labels that can be executed from the
atomic cli. So if they say `atomic runlabel <arbitrarylabelname> <image>`
they can run whatever named label they had defined inside the image.
