And how is that a worthwhile goal to begin with? I see only disadvantages in 
the Atomic model. No more fine-grained choice of packages, just a "take it 
or leave it" blob. No more possibility to add additional repositories 
replacing individual packages (in fact, it contradicts the modularity idea 
that is also being planned). And to work around that, you force all 
applications to be delivered as their own monolithic blobs duplicating all 
the libraries that are already in the OS blob (either as part of a "Runtime" 
or as part of the app itself).

I do NOT want an Atomic blob as my operating system. If Fedora forces its 
users to use that, I will not use Fedora anymore.
