Image packaging will need something like postrun, but I would expect to see the actual commands delivered as files, rather than via a pipe. If postrun remains at Contracted Consolidation Private, then it should be a straightforward series of tasks to update it to something more aligned. I do agree with Casper that casual observation of postrun tasks leads to a series of questions about the implementation. If we were to move to a public interface commitment level, I would like to see more diagnostic interfaces. I'd also like to separate the tasks that need to be done every reboot/reconstruction from version-specific transitions, which I don't believe is done in the current tool.
