I like the idea of using the same format for kernel-included VMs as I use for containers.

Next up, backups stored as layers in the same OCI registries.

I am not, however, sure ostree is going to be the final image format. Last time I looked work was in progress to replace that.

It is not, the future is currently pointing to composefs:

There's a GitHub org that builds bootc-ready images for non-Red Hat family distributions using this backend.
