### Need to evaluate current status/unblock

- B. [provide guidance for container runtimes using modularity](https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/767)

### In Progress:

- FF.  [Making Cincinnati updates work with ostree containers](https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/1263)
    - jlebon/dmabe/walters/jmarrero to drive design/work on this

- K. [systemd-sysusers integration work](https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/155)
    - some work being done on the fringes for this now by travier
- L. [add Kubevirt artifact](https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/1126)
    - work was completed on this but needs to be picked up
- N. [ppc64le architecture](https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/987)
    - very close - just need to figure out why the kernel is much larger on this architecture
- LL.  [MACAddressPolicy for bridges/bonds etc](https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/919)
