In general the micro-yuminst layer will require some maintenance but not that much;
"yum -y install" is 95% of anyone wants to do in Docker images.

If there's enough interest, we'll see about importing it into the projectatomic/ github org and
taking next steps like integrating it into the CentOS build processes.
