I agree that it would be nice, but to what extent is this image generic
to all ARM boards?  My understanding is that images are necessarily
bound to a specific board.

Other considerations include the fact that it=E2=80=99s yet another image to
build when we make a release, but perhaps the solution is simply to
improve our automation and build farm availability.

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
