	Reading that, and following the links, makes it seem that there 
is a new buzzword, "atomic" in some sense which may be apparent to those 
who use it, but isn't to me. At first, I thought it might be a typo for 
"automatic."

	Can you define the new Fedora-related sense in terms 
comprehensible to old mossbacks? How about partially or "fully-atomic"??
