It's not clear to me if e.g. the Container Linux system will be still built using Gentoo's emerge or the RH tools. You seem to discount the latter, but I guess it depends on what they really mean with "based on Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux sources". Are they going to rebuild e.g. the kernel using emerge, but from RH's source tarballs and collection of patch sets?
Initially its going to be based on RHEL so we can quickly ramp up. Over time it’s very likely we get more aggressive with RH CoreOS and newer kernels, but those are all details being worked on. It’s very important for us to be able to benefit from existing engineering investments in the community and within RHEL, but there’s a lot of excitement about taking what CoreOS proved could be compelling and reinforcing that with the Red Hat engineering teams. Stay tuned for more.
