- Ideas for cloud-init:
-  * simpler ovf-like transport (ie, simple iso or disk image attached to image triggers running)
-  * release an 0.6.2
-  * get fedora patchset included into 0.6.3
- 
- Ideas for cloud images:
-  * Better rebundling through local kvm boot
-  * better rebundling through lxc boot ?
-  * virtualbox support for importing qcow  OVF images
-  * better/definitive (from qemu/kvm)  "url" for fileformat of ovf images
- 
- Improved /query data:
-   * provide data in json format
-   * provide data for disk images
-   * identify which builds are on EC2 (currently you only get latest or all)
-   *
