Though computing image plans should be *far* quicker once Bart's SAT solver comes back, we've tossed around the idea of caching plans. We could automatically save them when doing -n or --fail-on-reboot (or whatever), and reload them if they hadn't been invalidated. Besides, I'm not sure if I really want to have "install -n[v]" be parseable.
