I think ripping out something from the core of Atomic should be done
at the turn of some kind of release milestone for each respective
distro project just because the users generally expect large changes
at that time.

Just to clarify, you're saying that the Layered Image Build Service
needs to be in place so that the kubernetes container can originate
from the distro producing project (i.e. - Fedora)?

Or were you suggesting something else?

+1 - From the Fedora side, I think this is something we'd want to
coordinate with the 2-week cycle being worked on right now.

+1 - I think the Atomic system should be only as large as it needs to
be and anything that can realistically run in a container, should.
