Detailed Description

The end goal of this change is to provide the modular base operating system content in a way that allows for hardware enablement and general userspace separation, enabling different update cadence and life cycles for each of the two parts.

Being the successor of Base Runtime, the two new modules will include all the content Base Runtime does as well as content from additional Fedora 26 Boltron modules extending it. Additional system configuration and management services and utilities are expected to be part of the base system experience.
