+# Request to Include a New Package in Fedora CoreOS
+
+If you would like to propose the inclusion of a new package into the base
+content set of Fedora CoreOS, please open a [new issue](https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/new) 
+here on the [fedora-coreos-tracker repo](https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker) 
+with the following questions answered.  The more detail provided for each
+question, the better informed everyone will be.
+
+Please title the new issue: `Package Request: <name of package>`
+
+1. What, if any, are the additional dependencies on the package? (i.e. does it drag in Python, Perl, etc)
+2. What is the size of the package and its dependencies?
+3. What problem are you trying to solve with this package? Or what functionality does the package provide?
+4. Can the package be run from a container?  Explain why or why not.
+5. Can the tool be helpful in debugging container runtime issues?
+6. Can the tool be helpful in debugging networking issues?
+7. Is it possible to layer the package onto the base OS as a day 2 operation?  Explain why or why not.
+8. Can the packaging be adjusted to just deliver binaries?
+10. Can the tool be used to do things we’d rather users not be able to do in FCOS? (e.g. can it be abused as a Turing complete interpreter?)
+11. Does the tool have a history of CVEs?

+# Adding Packages to Fedora CoreOS
+
+We often find people asking for a particular package to be added to the base set of
+packages included in Fedora CoreOS. One of the goals of Fedora CoreOS is to
+remain as lean as possible, without impacting overall usability for our users.
+Thus, new package requests are carefully scrutinized to weight the benefits and
+drawbacks of adding an additional package.
+
+If you would like to propose the inclusion of a new package in the base set of packages,
+please follow the instructions for [requesting a new package](NEWPACKAGE.md).
