We are happy to make any adjustments here. Our first set of refactoring here was aimed at making it more pythonic. Is this where the concerns are? > However I ran into problems testing on my aarch64 box > because of a missing gen-iso-image which makes me think we need to add > some gating via configure for tools and libraries we need. Should we error out in configure if the tools and libraries needed to build the VMs are not there? Or maybe tolerate these dependencies not being there at configure time and provide an error later when someone tries to vm-build these VMs? Just curious which approach we should pursue here.
