Why add the vagrant dep at all ? I understand Vagrant is widely used but for those who don't want to use, a simple ready-to-consume image would help better. It could also help in attracting more attention / crowd :) Also since cloud image is the most downloaded one, how about providing a .iso file with pre-loaded user/passwd, so that people willing to use cloud-image in non-cloud env (local, virt-mgr etc) can use the iso file as the cloud-init data source ? > > > -- > Matthew Miller > <[email protected]> > Fedora Project Leader > _______________________________________________ > cloud mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/[email protected] >
