Hey guys, thanks for that!  The interest in Vagrant image is perhaps
something that slipped past our radar as we prepped for the initial
Snappy announcement.  In retrospect, this is a fantastic idea.

I have CC'd Ben Howard, who is responsible for the tooling and
automation around building and publishing these images.

Ben, could you have a look at this from Marvin and Ross, and integrate
it into our Snappy image build/publish processes?

Thanks!
