I've found shocking few people care about official RH support for stuff like 
this but I'm probably looking at a self-selecting group since the more 
conservative folks probably don't use Chef :-) I'll make sure to note in the 
docs that SCLo recompiles are not covered under RH support though. I could do a 
similar backend for my installers that uses RHSCL but I would need to work out 
a way to test it. Do any of the RH folks on the list know if y'all offer 
subscription-y access for compat testing? I would still have to build the 
Docker image myself but that seems doable, if somewhat frustrating.
