Is it not just time to form a "CoreOS" SIG which include Anaconda, the 
storage developers, The kernel, Dracut,/Systemd/Udev, and arguably 
selinux and the network guys as well to ensure "proper" communication of 
changes between teams responsible for "core" ( installation/boot/network 
handling ) functionality within the project?
