This is a big part of why we need it integrated into the tooling. we can 
define a pungi config that has a subset of the full compose, i.e. the atomic, 
and possibly cloud and/or livecd bits.  we can then make them as part of the 
updates push process and  promote them to stable at any time.

not at all.

I think you mean upstream when you say downstream, since *Fedora* is 
downstream. part of the changes we are trying to make is to try and make you 
happy.

not at all.

not at all. the same tooling will work for CentOS, and RHEL.
