+1.  I think that trying to provide a bunch of different images is
just more burden on QA (and possibly others) without much value.

I think that eventually this will be the right thing to do, but I
don't think these should block on each other.  Thus, Atomic should
test with some other known good image until the Fedora 21 one is
ready, and we also shouldn't block testing of the docker image on
Atomic.

Agreed.

Agreed.
