There's roughly 5 weeks to GA to get atomic stuff sorted out, which
sounds like there's some padding available.

Option A: Burn the midnight oil and commit to the Atomic landing page
and its deliverables.

Option B:  Ask design folks if they're willing and able to be prepared
with contingency: swap out the planned new Atomic landing page for an
updated version of the current Cloud landing page, if Atomic isn't
ready by X days before GA.

IF you have to pull the contingency, I think at most anytime even
within Fedora 25's life time, you can swap out Cloud for Atomic to
underscore the new emphasis.

I think it's right to say instead of pressure cooker May and November,
that it's a lighter effort more broadly distributed. I don't see a big
problem with a change in branding midstream for a release, but I'm not
a marketing type.
