yay!

Absolutely!

We don't exactly, but we do have a bunch of tickets we created a while back
with the idea that would we take examples from Fedora Dockerfiles and make
them legitimate container images.

Having images that can run in OpenShift/Kube or without an orchestration
engine (i.e. plain docker or runc or whatever) would be nice.

I think we don't have a preference at this time on that. I don't really
care if the images follow the traditional model or are based on modules,
just that a user can easily choose. I'd prefer to not have confusion by having
*both*, though. i.e. I'd rather have an application (i.e. httpd) only be
offered as traditional or modular, but probably not both.

However, I think the document already obsoletes some parts of the projectatomic.io/docs <http://projectatomic.io/docs> site..

I think Josh Berkus is the best person for this at the moment.
