> In fact, if CoreOS Container Linux disappeared tomorrow, it would have very little impact on the Flatcar Container Linux project.

Well we will learn how true this is very shortly.

Chris from Kinvolk here. Our Flatcar builds are already completely independent of CoreOS builds. This is quite exciting for us as we can finally start updating the included software versions. We've been doing this a while for the edge channel (https://www.flatcar-linux.org/releases/) and have been waiting to do that with the other channels.

it would be cool if https://github.com/coreos/container-linux-update-operator would also be part of flatcar.
