 An alternative stage 1 could forego systemd-nspawn and systemd altogether, or retain these and introduce something like novm or qemu-kvm for greater isolation by first starting a VM.  All that is required is an executable at the place indicated by the "coreos.com/rkt/stage1/run" entrypoint which knows how to apply the Pod Manifest and prepared ACI file-systems to good effect.
 
+The resolved entrypoint must inform rkt of its PID for the benefit of `rkt enter`. rkt supports two ways of doing that, stage1 implementors must pick one:

+1. Writing to "/var/lib/rkt/pods/$uuid/pid" the PID of the process that is PID 1 in the container.
+2. Writing to "/var/lib/rkt/pods/$uuid/ppid" the PID of the parent of the process that is PID 1 in the container. This assumes it has only one child.
