I think the proposal here isn't to impede directly on any of these
distribution's core releases but instead to add an Atomic Release.
Effectively what is currently available will continue to be available
exactly as it is, but if you are interested in releases of these
distros based on the upstream Atomic toolset, this is the proposed
release cadence for it.
