The Fedora Engineering team wants this to happen, too, and I expect we'll be working on Hubs actively soon. A lot of design work happened in 2015. A healthy portion of implementation has taken a back seat because of other priorities (e.g. Mailman 3 migration, PDC and other infrastructure work, and a bunch of the cloud related work Matthew's well aware of). But never fear, 2016 is shaping up to be the year of the hubs.

We've been talking in Workstation WG about our interest in rpm-ostree, i.e. Atomic tech, as a basis for a new (note I said "new" which is not necessarily the same as "additional") type of Workstation deliverable. There are a lot of interesting technologies coming to maturity like xdg-app which could make this a real possibility in the near future (post-F24). So this needn't be just a Cloud initiative. That was kind of hand wavy, apologies for that. But I don't yet know enough about how such a Workstation would work to get detailed, and even if I did, this isn't really the best place to get bogged down in those details. I just wanted to put this on the table for excitement and momentum. :-) -- Paul W.
