The product just launched but there is an early active testing component to the registry. I think they called them "verified" modules[1].

For the modules that we are publishing for Kubernetes[2] we are actively testing them and appreciated that the publishing process and bug reporting process are tied to GitHub. Between that and the verified modules I think it does add some signals of quality.

Now, don't get me wrong I think the DSL could be more expressive to make modules easier to configure and deploy. I am hopeful the project will get there.

p.s. the registry site seems to be struggling a bit; launch day blues.

I expressly am not worried about you guys or the modules you write--CoreOS is not my thing and I think it's barking up the wrong tree in a lot of ways but I appreciate that you guys actually care about a certain level of competence and security. But you know as well as I do that the first question when it comes to infrastructure is "okay, how is this going to break and hose me?", yeah? For something so critical to users' everythings, hard answers to process problems need to be front-and-center.

(Aside: the DSL will never get there while it's pretending to be JSON. At some point, they will bolt an actual scripting language on top and pretend that HCL was a bad idea to start with, or they'll be replaced with something that will.)
