The use-case given (and maybe I'm missing other use-cases here) for the otk.arguments is currently "version" and "architecture". We could do this instead via a `fedora-39-amd64.yaml` file that just define those arguments. The upside of this is that we can easily see what combinations of version and architecture we support by looking at the top-level dir. It also simplifies the spec and we would not have to worry about validating arguments, i.e. how do we know that "-Dversion=41" is valid or not (if not valid it would probably mean down the line an include based on the version cannot be found and that presents challenges for a nice error message). It would also allow us to have symlinks when things do not change, e.g. ``` rhel-9.3.yaml -> rhel-9.4.yaml ``` But maybe I'm missing another use case for this? Even then I think the `fedora/39-amd64.yaml` has some merrits and is worth considering.
