I also run yum to keep my local runtime updated and I even suggested a
new buildah commit option to make this more efficient:
  https://github.com/containers/buildah/issues/1778

Though this is useful for devel or traditional workstation use-case.
It seems like a fedora image should come with the package
manager, but perhaps it should only be used as a build stage using
an option similar to the --installroot option?
