That seems like a missing step in the test / QA process - one which
I've been force to script in my own testing process for releasing on
F22. Weren't the F21 Docker images posted to Docker Hub for anyone to
test at some point before final release? Admittedly I haven't looked
at the formal test pages on the wiki so I don't know if it's there or
not. Also, the test compose / release candidate cycle doesn't always
deliver a Docker image tarball - RC1 had one but RC2 doesn't.

That would be nice - I'd like to refactor my monolithic nearly 4 GB
image into something a lot saner that I didn't have to maintain.
Everything's Fedora except RStudio and a bunch of R packages.

My Atomic use case is quite narrow and outside what I think is the
"mainstream" Atomic use case. I'm using it as a Docker host running
under Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 Client Hyper-V in place of
Boot2Docker or Docker Machine. Almost any Atomic build will do that
now but I'm looking for something that is slower-moving than a full
release every two weeks. A full release every Fedora release is ideal
but since that's been ruled out, the next best thing is a CentOS
Atomic that tracks RHEL Atomic.
