Oh, and in case I wasn't clear: +1 on the general idea behind this
approach.
We added the image-install task to Beaker 19 because it's a whole lot
simpler than the OpenStack based dynamic provisioning feature
(
https://beaker-project.org/docs/admin-guide/openstack.html)
It's encouraging to know that we've both identified the same concern
(complexity of OpenStack) and came up with similar proposal/solutions to
handle that concern :)
