I saw Colin's demo at DevConf.cz, and I like this architecture the
best. It makes the most amount of sense, and knowing when something
needs to be updated doesn't happen without inspection with docker.
IOW, the "yum update && clean all" layer never knows when to be
refreshed with docker!

If I had my choice of components, I'd recommend we work on rpm-ostree
+ nspawn. If we are happy to wait a year, the mgmt piece for
describing the layer would be a viable option.
