I am not sure how must effort that will require. If anyone has any ideas 
on how to make this edge case better I am all ears.

For the time being, just ensure you have the right kernel-headers 
installed for your running kernel and you should be fine.

If I get some time I will ask the folks in #atomic what the best method 
is for adjusting a F26 RPM to work in Atomic. My hunch it is failing 
when it tries to write the WireGuard files to /usr/src/ which is read 
only (I think).
