> What do you think?

I think there is a big difference here between supported boards and
unsupported boards. It doesn't make sense to add shortcuts for all
possible boards. Boards that are tested and supported should have
shortcuts.

I'd like cuirass to build native disk images for our supported boards
so that we can just write it to an sd card.

It would also be nice if we had a cross-compiled image for qemu. This
also would solve the guix system vm problem, since we can get a
cross-compiled substitute that will allow building a native image
which can then be started in qemu.

I'm planning on adding support for bbb, zybo and qemu, because that's
the hardware I've got.
