+1, given that packages like docker could be relevant to atomic and virt.

I'd love to see epel get combined with this as well, but I'm probably
speaking with a docker-tunneled vision.

I don't think EPEL could fit in here because the audience for EPEL is a lot more conservative in what they want than what people working on anything from this decade want. 45% of EPEL users are EL-5, 50% are EL-6 and 5% are EL-7. Projects which are aimed at the EL-7 -> EL-8 space will get a lot of pushback from users when things get updated (this is the reason openstack and various other tools have had to been pulled from EPEL in the past..)

That said, I had an idea called EPIC which might be a better place for these items.
