I think the Fedora Desktop/Server/Cloud products we are talking about are
more biased towards production than Fedora has sometimes been. I'm not sure
that answers your question, though.

Actually, I'm not sure this is a question. It sounds like a rhetorical

I agree that the last one seems like an important case which the installer
could cover better.

Separately, if we're really interested in allowing/encouraging parallel
installs, we probably should figure out how to make OSTree work officially.
