If we don't have a unified story between Project Atomic and Fedora w/r/t
what to download and what we think people "should" use, it's going to be
confusing. I'm very concerned that an Atomic that conforms to the normal
Fedora release cycle + a fast-moving Fedora-based Atomic from Project
Atomic is going to be a messaging nightmare.

Some people's entry point to the discussion is via Project Atomic, some
enter via Fedora - and then of course we get people coming from third
parties who are writing about Project Atomic for a variety of reasons
and with a varying level of understanding about what Atomic is. We've
seen people just assume "oh, there's a CentOS build that says Atomic, it
*must* be a rebuild of RHEL Atomic" (which is wrong) and come away
disappointed.

Assuming we'll be OK as "everyone has a choice to download what they
want" may be overly optimistic here.

The more I think about this, the more I think we really need a unified
story rather than having two separate entry paths to Atomic for Fedora.
