Is there a reason we can't make option 4 to be: officially create OEM
images and create an OEM preload guide? I don't personally know how
preloads work, even though I'm trying to figure out how to improve
"preloaded Fedora" experience over the next couple of cycles for
Fedora KDE.

It might also make sense to make either monthly or quarterly
full recomposes with updates for downstreams with all the artifacts,
similar to how Microsoft used to do "rollup images" to support OEM
preloads.
