One of the main goals of the bootable containers initiative in Fedora is to have all the image-based Fedora variants share a common base onto which we can maintain CI, develop features, fix bugs, etc... While I believe in the long-term, we should try to have literal derivation from a base image, this is not currently desirable for various reasons. Instead, for now we can share things at the manifest level by having this repo be a submodule in the every variant's repo. Currently, tier-0 is much smaller than it needs to be for sharing purposes. Crucially, it doesn't include NetworkManager. At the same time, tier-1 is much too large as a shared target. As a first step, we should try to match variants where they currently are and not force them to ship many more packages than they currently do. For this purpose, I'm proposing a new tier: tier-x. The "x" stands for "cross-variant". This tier is composed of tier-0 + a set of packages that is currently in common to all the involved variants. The most notable additions are NetworkManager, openssh, and rpm-ostree. The intention then is to have every Fedora variant `include` this tier and have it become the point of collaboration between variants. E.g. new packages/bug fixes/temporary workarounds relevant to all variants likely should land in this tier instead of in the downstreams. CI of course will also be an important discussion point.
