Images changes ahead

[Paul Larson]

I created this:
https://trello.com/c/pczuCuZI/264-as-hwcert-tools-i-d-like-to-ensure-that-our-provisioning-automation-works-with-all-the-changes-going-on-with-spi-and-snappy-core

If anyone has other things that need investigation, feel free to add them
there. From this, we'll break out more cards for specific things that need
to be done, and point to where we can test/investigate how snappy is
evolving and how it will affect us.
