The idea seems uncontroversial to me.  Of the two options given,
I'd prefer:

because:

(a) the generic Fedora image just becomes a simple root filesystem
(ie. a direct ext4 image) so it's easy for end users to understand
what it is.  And (b) instead of shipping the Fedora image as a
filesystem image, we could consider shipping it as a tar.xz file,
which is useful for other cases such as containers and qemu user
emulation.
