Very cool. I love the idea of a developer VM that's easy to use and mimics
our automation setup. The only problem I see is that a number of people are
doing Gaia developer VMs (Fred, Wilson, Reza). I would love to see these
efforts unified, but I'm not sure how to go about doing that.

Also, has there been any talk of moving b2g_util inside of Gaia itself? I
would love it if the Gaia repo had the ability to, for instance, backup and
restore my phone's profile, or flash my phone with a task cluster build
(public, or private with creds). Having this functionality outside of Gaia
means not everyone will know about it (in fact I bet a lot of Gaia devs
weren't aware of that package). Let's move it into core?
