+### Checklist for Adding a new dependency to a CI image
+
+Our images are layered, and the base (called fedora-base) contains
+all the rpm payload. Therefore, adding a new dependency is a 2-step
+process:
+
+ 1. [ ] Build and upload fedora-base:$version+1
+ 1. [ ] Build and upload fedora:$version+1 based on fedora-base:version+1
