Besides, trying to get a grand vision from the start is a sure
way to never have the design leave the drawing board.
What we are asking for at this point is a way to stick a named blob in
an image that people can use with qemu without jumping through hoops.
It seems like a generic enough addition that it seems highly likely
to be useful down the road and harmless enough that maintaining
it won't become a burden.
Can we agree on that as a first step, so we can build that foundation
and move on to actually building ways to use it?
