It's not meant to be used as is, but layered + upon. +- **tier-1**: This image is much larger and notably includes networking and + firmwares.

It's the shared base + used by all image-based Fedora variants (IoT, Atomic Desktops, and CoreOS). + Changes to this tier may be done without accounting for external users. + +Both **tier-1** and **tier-x** inherit from **tier-0**. + +All non-trivial changes to **tier-0** and **tier-x** should be ACKed by at least +one stakeholder of each Fedora variant WGs. + ## More information Documentation:
