Hey Richard,
Sorry for the trouble but it seems my two emails got bounced.
The first one I think becuase I went trigger happy and emailed
before the list accepted me, and second I think because I was
already on a moderated list from a prior email :P
My goal was to email guestfs(a)lists.libguestfs.org and Cc
kdevops(a)lists.linux.dev
Sorry, it should be working now! (Busy time and I'm on holiday ..)

Yes.

Ideally we'd like to not host the images at all, but getting distros
to host them instead has not been very successful (except for SUSE).

Yes, we'd like Debian to generate their own images! Actually
they don't even need to generate images at all, just host
the index file.
