Hi,
at this time, my script isn't just more than a proof of concept due to the well known deviations. Before integrating it as part of the image build, I'd like to discuss some considerations about the image and the way it could be built [1] (and I should get to know more about the CentOS/ARM build procedure).

Are you familiar with kickstarts for centos installations? That's essentially how I generate the disk image. If you wanted to contribute a kickstart that created the disk layout you see as feasible I can incorporate that into the builds. It might help if I create project on github with the scripts used to generate the various aarch64 images.
The livemedia-creator tool also allows for the creation of a rootfs tarball, so would publishing a raw tarball of an installed system be beneficial to you for generating images for various boards?
As to the kernel pieces, I don't want to get into the business of tracking/shipping vendor kernels. I'd much rather either patch support into the kernel-aarch64 we already ship, or provide a simple means for the user to generate an image based on the vendor kernel (thus assuming the risk/liability).
