I had a chat with Owen shortly after the Fedora 27 release, and I'm guessing
the status hasn't changed for folks like myself that need to be able to make
changes to the lower OS layers and have them persist across reboots, correct?

I need to be able to, amongst other things:
- be able to switch kernels independently of the OS installation
- be able to install external kernel modules for particular kernel revisions and
  have them persist across reboots
- be able to modify daemons, be it startup scripts, udev/hwdb rules, or binaries
  and have them persist across reboots

And unfortunately, most of that work cannot be done in VMs, due to the lack
of hardware passthrough for a lot of the devices I work with, along with the
side effects of having an OS that tries to handle them (that's Bluetooth, USB,
I2C, HDMI/DisplayPort, at least).

Do we have any tracking bugs to collect requirements for that sort of usage, or
is it outside the scope of Atomic Workstation?

Cheers
