Is there a possibility of an Atomic Edition that doesn't shift the Cloud Edition focus away from being a good base?  Atomic is a specialized case for general cloud workloads, and containerizing everything probably won't be a near time thing.

But then, I don't know what constitutes criteria for a top level edition vs a spin.

FWIW +1 for Spin (A)
