I can see a hosting company for instance that has 10, 100 or 1000 web servers that are all identically configured using atomic to update the web servers. its a very easy way to guarantee that all are identical in both package set and configuration. they of course would make their own tree and setup their own compose and deployment servers. The same could be said for bank tellers, atm's and any given corporate type deployment where you need a lot of centrally configured and administered machines. University workstations could also be done the same way. allow a copy on write tmpfs overlay and you could allow students to do all sorts of things to a machine, force a reboot on logout and the machine is back in a pristine state ready for the next student. There is many many use cases where it would make sense, but they also will not make sense for Fedora to provide. we should provide the tooling and framework so that those needing to make such deployments can do so knowing that they are following best practices.
