Also, I'm wondering if this kind of image base deliveries could
facilitate a more automated push to the docker-official[0] images (this is
for `docker pull fedora` images). Presently this is an _overly_ manual
process, which involves loosing git history, checking tarballs of rootfs
into git, etc [1].

Most of this difficulty is imposed by the docker library team's process.
Though surely they'll be amendable to opening the process to allow for
pulling in an image produced by rel-eng (ideally automated per errata
involved in the image's components).

Main concern from upstream is this automation still needs a bit of
review, like what all is included by default (i.e. systemd) and that it
still smoke tests.

Thoughts?
