Less than ideal, perhaps, but certainly worth the tradeoff in my opinion.
The only cost should be in storage space, and there presumably aren't very
many modules for the EC2 kernel.

The images should do what is necessary to support both UEC and EC2 very
well, until such time as we find that it would be more effective to maintain
two separate images.
