Thanks for heads up Nick.
The overall idea looks similar to Lennart's proposal:

Which is definitely a good thing. Question is how we are going to approach
the distribution method in Fedora - we are already getting familiar with
OSTree through Atomic, but I am not sure if that's the best way of
application delivery (at least until dnf learns to pull and install ostree
images - how cool that would be:) On the other hand AFAIK we are missing
some pieces in Koji to be able to bundle like this in RPMS - we'd need at
least buildroots separated by tags (which would also solve a problem how to
build SCL, by the way..)
Looks like they're currently using a tool called Xdg-app to handle the
OSTree based installs:

While there's a docs directory in the GitHub repo, it doesn't seem to
be published anywhere online that I can find.
Cheers,
Nick.
