We could also list out the commands for building the image and have
"community images" built and tested by people who actually have the

My slightly more featureful pine64plus image I built for myself came out
to 1.5 GiB and 291 MiB with bzip2. I don't know how much space the other

We could also build and test them on a different schedule and upload
them at a later date as they're shown to be working.
