As a side note - the deploy tool (deployproject.org) can be used to pull together a set of packages (essentially a lightweight spin), test install and update, and deploy to one or more systems using standard tools (anaconda, yum). It can also be used to script ostree creation (or vm or ISO image creation, or ...) starting from the mini spin.
Does the deploy tool make reproducible copies? And if so, does it require a frozen copy of a repository or the specific packages to do it? That is, if you have 6 different types of servers that are updated on different schedules, would you have to maintain 6 different repository mirrors, each frozen at the time each instance was tested and kept for as long as you might want to reproduce that tested system?
Or does this even do updates at all?
