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.

It's clear the CoreOS team has some great ideas and has put a lot of thought into a new model for OS+app delivery.
But what I'd say on this is that I'd like Project Atomic to closely orbit the RPM ecosystem.
Wouldn't it be nicer to just make the standard package manager able to do updates repeatably? That is, so you could build or update one system, test it, then tell the package manager to install or update the same set of packages at the tested versions on one or more other systems? Without needing additional infrastructure or tooling...
