Aha, that's what Colin meant. Yes, a continuously updated ostree of
workstation would be very useful, and in fact, basically sufficient,
since most operating system changes can be tested at the ostree level
(an updated package, a change to the package set, etc.)

We should be able to figure out how to do automated testing directly on
ostrees as well.

Having an anaconda installer image is important part of letting people
try out the operating system, but a continuously build anaconda
installer image isn't a top priority - it's most useful for catching
and fixing problems with building the installer image.

I'm sorry it's been sitting there broken for so long. Certainly more
people following the builds and more people trying out the result is
really important, and we'll work towards that. The problem that it has
been hitting was already fixed for Atomic Host, so I'll work on a pull-
request to copy those changes over.
