Well actually... the main way I've used these system containers is
with the ansible scripts at:
https://github.com/kubernetes/contrib/tree/master/ansible but those
have been deprecated.

I think we should:

* drop the manual instructions from the site
* tell people who want manual to go read "kubernetes the hard way"
* focus on kubeadm for kubernetes on atomic (see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Jasonbrooks/QA/AtomicTests/Install_Kubeadm
and https://github.com/projectatomic/atomic-system-containers/tree/master/kubeadm)
* point to openshift-ansible for people who want a more complicated
configuration (https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible)

If you'd like to know *all* my thoughts on the matter, I gave a talk
on this subject at Flock: https://youtu.be/Y703n0emWUg
