Others in the xCAT user community can give their opinions too, but from the perspective of the xCAT developers:
We have not tested or updated the docs of the partimage approach, but a few users have posted on the mailing list that they have used it, altho i got the feeling that they had to do quite a bit of "reading between the lines". The image provisioning doc you reference is a design, not an end user doc, because we are in the process of adding that support for xCAT 2.8. That said, i will encourage the developers (Yin Le and Brian Finley) to keep putting the latest info they have in the design doc in case you want try it at the same time they are developing it.

If the Partimage solution is the best, the links on the instruction page are broken https://cwiki.apache.org/VCL/adding-support-for-partimage-and-partimage-ng-to-xcat-2x-unofficial.html Is there a current link to the partimageng.pm and listener.py available?
