This is just a fork of Typhoon. Is anything even different?

True, the current Lokomotive repository consists of mostly code forked from Typhoon, something we state in the article. There are a number of small and largish modifications: support for Packet, additional PSPs, etc. But this is just the base Kubernetes portion of Lokomotive. Lokomotive includes 4 main parts, 2 of which have been release thus far. The other public portion of Lokomotive ist the underlying OS, Flatcar Linux. The integration with the recently announced Flatcar Linux Edge channel is the main motivation for releasing at this point; stay tuned for some projects that build on top of this. The other 2 parts will be rolled out this summer. Those are lokoctl, the installer, and Lokomotive Components, a collection of base cluster component.
