Hi,
Since I've already been messing with such images I kind of know what I
need:
1 - acpid, so virsh reboot/shutdown will work
2 - cloud-init for openstack images; also it would be nice if the image
could resize itself at first boot
3 - nano & wget to make the life easier for newbies
I don't think it's worth the effort to build Centos LAMP images, since
it's just Centos minimal + "yum install httpd mysql-server php-mysql
etc".
