It's very scattered.  Ideally we share at least some infrastructure
between Fedora and CentOS.  I'm not sure how to get there.  Some
teams in Project Atomic like ADB are CentOS only at the moment.

Anyways for Atomic Host (and other efforts), I think key ingredients are:
 - Agreeing on a shared IaaS like OpenStack being available for tests
 - Reducing the number of upstream test formats (right now the way
   github.com/projectatomic/{atomic,rpm-ostree,atomic-reactor)
   do tests are all different
 - Reducing the number of frontends to those frameworks (Jenkins,Taskotron,etc.)
