I am obviously interested in this =)  I have some forthcoming work to 
post within a week or so.

Ok so there are two cases:

1) Fedora provides OSTree repository
2) Downstream consumes RPMs and creates internal OSTree repository

It's #2 that I think is going to be most interesting for cloud 
consumers at present. That's feedback I got from talking to people at 
devconf - they could definitely see the use case where organizations 
make their own internal trees and replicate them out to their servers 
(or clients).

Right now if we just shipped a cloud image that used OSTree (model #1) 
most people would just say "but how do I install stuff"? =)   

Though we should have a continuously generated and tested tree for the 
default cloud that'd be used for development - this is the broader 
rpm-ostree story.  I'll post more about that soon too.
