This really isn't a great container reference image. It isn't
manipulating many of
the things that you should be in a container image (linux-dummy, etc).

Have you seen the reference images that have either been presented at the
various ELC conferences and/or the ones that are in meta-virtualization ?
Or the ones from Togan labs, meta-overc, etc ?

IMHO, It would be better to collaborate on this in a non-core layer
for this release and
then consolidate things with the OCI image types, and when we sort out
if/what/when
makes sense from meta-virt into oe-core.

This is a topic of many opinions and different implementations and deserves some
cycles spent on documenting the choices, what we expect the base image to
do, etc.

Cheers,

Bruce
