They're already here!

- CoreOS Container Linux (now owned by Redhat)[0]

- RancherOS[1]

- Kubic[2] (more focused on running Kubernetes, but same idea)

There are also tools like Linuxkit[3] which focus on helping you actually build images that run the containers you want and nothing else @ startup, which is pretty cool I think.
