Will it still be possible to use something simple like zezere /
provision.fedoraproject.org to deploy your ssh keys? I find that to be
one of the major advantage of Fedora IoT over all the other images for
the Raspberry Pi out there, as I can easily get the IP of my newly
setup device and push my ssh keys from FAS there without ever having to
bother with ignition.


Cheers,
