Hi Scott, My apologies, I meant Lucid instead of Hardy(I was discussing something about hardy at the time and my mind messed up) so a Lucid HVM is exactly what I'm looking forward to, it's kind of sad to know HVM are restricted, I will ask EC2 support to see if I can be able to create HVM images, in the meantime I'm really happy and grateful that you will be releasing a daily Lucid HVM, really, thank you! if there's something I can help with please let me know.
