How would a 'micro' installation suggest installing software so that the image does something useful without yum?

libguestfs does quite a bit of the post-image-instantiation work already, eg: running a ceph cluster inside a VM using micro instances to represent nodes would be fairly simple.

In the xen images, we already do guestfs injection of keys/passphrases etc.

So is this going to be a special-case just for VMs? Maybe there should be some post-install magic hook for salt/puppet/chef for non-VM central management.
