As a user, by using those precomposed images, you lose the ability to : * customize your installation by adding/removing packages (and if it were not prevented, the customizations would not persist across updates), * update individual packages, * get new updates (including security fixes) as soon as they hit the mirrors, without waiting for a new OS tree compose (every extra step in the process unavoidably introduces a delay), * get individual packages from updates-testing or directly from Koji, * use packages from third-party repositories, unless they respin the entire OS tree for you, * save bandwidth by downloading the packages that changed, or even only the deltas of the actual change (delta RPMs), etc. You gain… nothing! I don't see what's wrong with "dnf -y update" as an updating mechanism. As developers, we have to spend our valuable time on making our packages work with this technically inferior delivery system (see the "/var" discussion) that has no practical benefit whatsoever over the existing package-driven system.
