This came out of discussion in CentOS/centos-bootc-dev#27 Basically...I think what we should emphasize in the future is the combination of `bootc` and `dnf`. There's no really strong reason to use `rpm-ostree` at container build time versus `dnf`. Now on the *client* side...well, here's the interesting thing; with transient root enabled, `dnf install` etc generally just works. Of course, *persistent* changes don't. However, anyone who wants that can just `dnf install rpm-ostree` in their container builds. There is one gap that's somewhat important which is kernel arguments. Because we haven't taught `grubby` do deal with ostree, and we don't have containers/bootc#255 to change kargs per machine outside of install time one will need to just hand-edit the configs in `/boot/loader`. Another fallout from this is that `ostree container` goes away inside the booted host...and today actually this totally breaks bib until osbuild/bootc-image-builder#18 is fixed. Probably bootc should grow the interception for that too optionally.
