If we don't have a unified story between Project Atomic and Fedora w/r/t
what to download and what we think people "should" use, it's going to be
confusing. I'm very concerned that an Atomic that conforms to the normal
Fedora release cycle + a fast-moving Fedora-based Atomic from Project
Atomic is going to be a messaging nightmare.
Some people's entry point to the discussion is via Project Atomic, some
enter via Fedora - and then of course we get people coming from third
parties who are writing about Project Atomic for a variety of reasons
and with a varying level of understanding about what Atomic is. We've
seen people just assume "oh, there's a CentOS build that says Atomic, it
*must* be a rebuild of RHEL Atomic" (which is wrong) and come away
disappointed.
Assuming we'll be OK as "everyone has a choice to download what they
want" may be overly optimistic here.
The more I think about this, the more I think we really need a unified
story rather than having two separate entry paths to Atomic for Fedora.
Perhaps I'm missing something then. Is there something specific to Fedora
that you're concerned about that somehow we can ignore with CentOS and
RHEL Atomic Host? I would think we'd need to align as best as we can
with all of our communities.
The messaging seems pretty simple to me and properly aligned with the
communities.
Fedora = Newest
CentOS = Stable
RHEL = Supported
I get that there are several offerings that Fedora has, I don't feel
compelled to list them all on projectatomic.io to people who likely won't
have the information to make an informed decision anyway. We pick one
for them, give a few word description on what it is, and set them loose.
