Fedora CoreOS Stable/Testing/Next Support

I understand that there is no official support for Fedora and Fedora CoreOS (FCOS) presently (ie. no docker images are published). And, as it stands the current fedora code in this repo does not work with the latest FCOS releases. I would like to submit a pull request for the minor changes which will allow a working docker driver image to be built for FCOS's current stable release but before I do would appreciate some direction from maintainers.

The big question I suppose is whether there is any interest in supporting Fedora with published driver images for FCOS from this repo, even if there is no official support? And, if this is not desired, would there be any objections to my publishing these myself on dockerhub from a forked repo? Internally, I have been running the driver on a pinned FCOS version for several months, in three separate environments. I am mid-process taking the next step which is to re-build driver versions daily and intend to follow FCOS stable, testing and next streams in the three separate environments. Since I am going to be re-building the versions daily anyway I could publish to a public repo just as easily as to an internal one.

Right now I have GPU workloads working with the FCOS stable release (5.14.9-200.fc34.x86_64) but this has required moving forward to nvidia driver version 470.57.02. This works very well with the installation of fedora rpms built via Gitlab CICD through slight custom forks of libnvidia-driver (1.5.0), nvidia-driver-toolkit (1.5.0), nvidia-container-driver (3.5.0). I recognize some maintainers here participate in all of these other projects too. I would be prepared to make pull requests to these projects too to add fedora support (minor changes required) if there is interest.

Your input appreciated.
