Yes. And how does it's security model work?

What is the root of trust? Are they signed by a Fedora key that I already 
have? How can we verify it's integrity? Once installed, how do I verify it's 
integrity? How do I check if anything has been modified? Does it integrate 
well with SE Linux, IMA, fapolicyd, or openscap? On a locked down system, are 
there sysctls  that I have undo such as user namespaces? If an app coredumps, 
does a problem report get generated? Who gets it?
