There are ~60 days before the alpha+2 weeks and I wanted to see what code was written and possibly set it up against Fed 20 (as Fedora 21/Rawhide may not be the best to test against as its changing) so I could see if the draft looked spot on or if it was too little or too much.

The primary code that is being written for this is in the form of the new "rolekit" project (name just selected yesterday). We have been working on the specification mostly in #fedora-server for the last few weeks, with some side-trips to this mailing list here and there.

I've asked Thomas Woerner to send an email with the finalized API to this list, but that hasn't happened yet. Thomas, consider this a reminder email, please.

Now that we have a Fedora Hosted project set up, Thomas and I will be working on code there shortly. At the moment, the framework and such is in Thomas's possession alone.

I'm going to send another email (hopefully) later this today about my plans for how to implement the systemd units for roles, including my clever(?) hack for first boot configuration.
