I've asked about this. There aren't any papers/documents written (yet),
but there are supposed to be some tools in the works. I'll work on
finding/getting the people involved to discuss the topic on this list.
I've volunteered to help write a paper on the topic, so it's now a
matter of gathering the technical leadership and confirming the various
positions/answers.
We need a RHEL representative/contact whom we will be able to
officially ask stuff like the above, to sketch some inside specs and
so on, and I think this sounds a lot like it should be you :)
