I believe once we have been able to produce the two images for people to
play with as Karanbir suggests that the above concern will be clearly
and practically addressed. The goal is to not only to continue to
deliver to existing users, but grow that base in addition to become
relevant in new areas as we have started to show traction with CentOS in
OpenStack. With the SIG and closer association of RDO and CentOS for
example we have moved the User survey that Tim Bell runs 40 points from
what I can work out from Ubuntu our way. That's huge. This has to be
good for the project and the users and I believe we can do far more, how
about 1st in a future survey? Goal is the grow the project, our scope of
influence for the project, but NOT break things.

I'm pretty sure once we have been able to create an example image >90%
of people will have 0 change in experience. Let's get next round of
comments after we have been able to play with it

Let's take ground and not break stuff.
