Nope, we currently agree on that part, I've even said the same thing
in a pv yesterday :)

No, they want containers and containers-oriented systems but they're
not aware of the existence of Atomic.
Hence the decision to make Atomic primary, we want to raise awareness
around the project.

Currently, people are all getting giddy around CoreOS which has
developed interesting components but overall story is quite weak.

I agree about traditional cloud images but regarding Fedora Cloud, our
adoption rate is still low compared to other images.
If we start giving off the signal that Fedora Cloud is getting less
maintained while it's the contrary, we'll be ruining our efforts
there. Kushal, Mike and others did an excellent work on Fedora Classic
Cloud and the effort will be maintained at the same level or even
better.
Primary is Atomic, but Classic will still maintained for some time and
at the same level than currently. That's the message.

Well, we're pretty far for even considering this but I see it as
possible in the future.
During Flock Prague, people took me for a fool when I asked Fesco if
we could imagine that one day, Fedora could switch to the Atomic model
rather than the traditional package one.
When I look at the work in progress about desktop app containers,
we're not that far from making it happen in a few years.
