Yeah, to make this clear: I doubt we should really be in the
deployment business too much. That's for other people to solve, for
example rkt.

However, I do think the most basic bits should probably be available,
simply to get developers off the ground for the most basic testing. I
figure that means "machinectl migrate" (as suggested in the other
mail) is really as good as it might get, and anything fancier should
really be left to other projects.
