Image Management Engine Name Suggestions

Just a late name suggestion...

"Conveyor"

... because Image Management Engine runs inside ImageFactory, just like a series of conveyor belts run inside a real-life factory. It creates a very simple level of abstraction that helps a user understand the relationship between ImageFactory and the Conveyor IME.

As a bonus, you could continue the Fordist-era theme when naming other new parts of Aeolus infrastructure (As a matter of fact, we already do with "Assemblies" and there's also discussion about integration with "Foreman").
