Images changes ahead

[Paul Larson]

Yeah, this is basically going to require pretty much starting over on the
automation for provisioning. However, there are also some pretty major
changes that have come in from SPI, so the timing of both of these things
breaking the world is pretty good - that way we only have to deal with the
pain once. :)

Any idea of the timing of this?
Also, is there a realistic demo build of the image, and how the tools will
work that we can use for testing on our side?
