Once a list of variants has been set for an image during image-create,

the image to check if it is a sparc image, for instance?

Not yet... although it's in /var/pkg/cfg_cache.  These interfaces need
a little thought, and we were on a tight deadline for sparc support and
didn't want to roll out duplicate depos.

I'm assuming there is no way to change the variants for an image after
it has been created.  Is that correct?

Not yet; this is coming.  It's not clear that changing variant.arch will
be made to work, though...

Also, I'm not too sure I understand the "--variant" option to
image-update.  It does not seem to take any parameters.  What does that
option do?

--variant variant.arch=sparc

See test cases.
