Hi Jay,

some random thoughts:

1) OVF support. I know it's not exactly a disk image format, but
probably we could look deeper if it make sense to add OVF or not. And
if not, where does it fit in the overall architecture.
2) "Understand what is contained in the disk images". Is this a
prerequisite for a kind of image builder, for example? May be I don't
get it, what is the purpose of it?

my two cents,

Diego Parrilla
