 I'm wondering if we should consider:

 A. Move Atomic out of the Cloud Edition, and treat it as a spin, with a
    home at "http://atomic.fedoraproject.org/" (not currently valid),
    similar to http://kde.fedoraproject.org — with its own design, theming,
    etc.

 B. The other way around: double down on Atomic as the primary thing the
    Cloud WG releases as the Fedora cloud product. Here, the focus would be
    more on containers as the basis for the future of "cattle-style"
    scale-out computing, and Atomic as Fedora's cool solution for that.

 of course, it's always an option to do

 C. Keep as it is, with both options presented as equals for different
 cases.


 Personally, I like "B" from a high-level Fedora perspective, as it's an
 opinionated solution for a target use case. That's what we _want_ for the
 Fedora Editions — Wrkstation is a software dev desktop, Server focuses on
 role deployment via rolekit and cockpit.

 On the other hand, it's a pretty big bet on Atomic, and maybe we're not
 ready for that (or collectively don't think that it's the right bet).

 "C" would be a more cautious wait-and-see approach.
