Did you see my post to the desktop list earlier today about Owen's
"Purple Egg" project? There must be something in the air right now. :)

This'd be like the "alpha" and "continuous" streams in CentOS?

Would it be possible to have the continuous stream in CentOS CI (or the
Fedora Jenkins instance, or triggered by taskotron, or whatever) and
the alpha-equivalent (the user facing view, basically) promotion cause
builds to fire off in Fedora releng infrastructure? (Just kind of
thinking out loud about the easiest way to get this done.)

I know Adam was working on that, but I'm not sure where it landed. I
know the layered image build stuff has continued to be 1000% more work
than initially expected. I think it might be the "Atomic ostree repo
management" item under Other in the status report here
