The CentOS Atomic Hosts that the CentOS Atomic SIG has been releasing
are straight rebuilds of RHEL Atomic Host. The scripts and definitions
live here: https://github.com/CentOS/sig-atomic-buildscripts/tree/downstream.

There's an ongoing effort to make a second host release that includes
newer packages. A bit more about that here:
https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2015-October/013957.html.

For the CentOS Atomic Host that's a rebuild of RHEL Atomic Host, all
these decisions are made by Red Hat, just like RHEL-->CentOS. All the
components are developed upstream, in project atomic, and in Fedora --
the plan for the faster-moving centos atomic release is to use newer
pkgs that originate in Fedora.
