I don't think this could work because there too many different
buildroots nowadays, and building and storing the bootstrap images would
take too much resources.
Bootstrap images are thankfully quite simple, as they just need to be
enough to run rpm+dnf. That makes them relatively consistent.
And if build images are the future, perhaps podman integration is
the
answer. Although the image distribution protocol is probably the worst
part of Docker.
Anything involving OCI is probably not the answer here, since that
whole system depends on the brain-damaged OCI specification.
