Well, I don't think this approach gets us very far forward. There's no
advantage in hosting our own Ubuntu 16.04 as opposed to the official one.
The issue I am trying to solve in my proposal is to allow a choice of base
images to be used, and also to have them be unified across ONAP. So rather
than the base image being "ubuntu-lts" it would be "onap-base" (with a few
different tagged flavors), which could be customized as appropriate.

Again, I don't think "simplicity" is the main goal here. Simple is nicer,
but if it works, it works. The serious problem, as I see it, is that an
operator likely does not have support contracts for 15 different JDKs and
several different vendored operating systems.

That's an intriguing (and scary) number! Can you share with us how you
derived it? It would be useful for tracking our progress.
