There are a lot of things going on in this proposal:
- shipping editions as container images in quay

- migrating existing users to the new container image based updates
(No tracker yet)
- overriding yum/dnf commands via cliwrap

- rebranding `rpm-ostree`

I feel like we'd have a more cohesive discussion if we tried to break this up
into smaller pieces so we can have a more focused discussion.
These links were already mostly in the proposal, but I've added them again here for
convenience.
As written this proposal is hard to swallow.
Two things:
- This proposal is explicitly trying to tie everything together. I think without the
"bigger picture", it's actually *more* confusing. For example, just pushing
the container images does little unless we invest in them as a derivation source and build
tooling and docs around them.
- At a very practical level, I find context switching in Mediawiki syntax to be rather
tedious. I'd prefer to discuss the individual sections in the already extant tracker
issues that accept Markdown and have a well-understood and used discussion mechanism. (Or
of course, email here)
But you're certainly not wrong, it *is* a big proposal. Happy to make changes,
I'm mainly just saying there already are dedicated sub-proposal trackers to discuss
the details of those.
