The primary goal of Fedora CoreOS is to be useful directly, and
9-
to have users deploy containers for applications, etc.
8+
Creating custom immutable container-native operating systems is now supported
9+
by the [Fedora bootc project](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/bootc/getting-started/),
10+
and Fedora CoreOS derives from that project.

Some people and organizations have asked about creating custom
12-
derivatives of Fedora CoreOS using this project. This is supported
13-
on a best-effort basis. Supporting these use cases is not a primary
14-
goal of coreos-assembler, though we try not to purposely break them.
15-
Also note that coreos-assembler is still evolving, and it's likely
16-
that there will occasionally be breaking changes. You should
17-
subscribe to releases to make sure you're aware of these.
18-
That said, we do try to maintain a stable interface between
19-
coreos-assembler and the "source config" repo.

21-
Maintaining a custom operating system build is a nontrivial undertaking
22-
that you shouldn't take lightly. But we will make efforts to
23-
document changes and keep coreos-assembler relatively stable.

25-
coreos-assembler is used to build RHEL CoreOS, but coreos-assembler
26-
is not a Red Hat product at the current time.

Please see the bootc documentation for guidance on building custom operating systems;
13+
Fedora CoreOS is focused on a "direct consume" model; see also
