If anyone wants a 1.3 master after downstream is released, they'll
need to use containers to run it, because we're shipping kube 1.2
right now, and we're set not to include the 1.3 master components in
the next downstream.

If we roll the 1.3 kubelet into the image, people could still run a
newer kubelet, but they'd have to use a container or separate binary
to do it.

Maybe it's not worth diverging at this point, but since the aims of
RHEL AH and of CentOS AH are somewhat different, esp wrt kubernetes,
which is now supported only in single node mode for RHEL AH, it's not
crazy for the package sets we deploy to be different. The actual rpms
wouldn't be diverging, just the selection of them.

Right.
