My concerns to the pre-build images are 1. Security - It's a black box. Will need our security officer's approval for production use. 2. Support - Will it still be available when we need to expand to other hardware platform or next release of xCAT/partimage?

But, we still use both partimage and partimage-ng. Our case is a little unique, we started using xCAT1.3 with partimage, then added local support ourselves because xcat 2.0 did not include imaging. Can you expand on what you feel uncomfortable about? Is it building them or modifying, you should be able to mount them and view the contents.
