I just dived a little in virt-builder and here are my findings:
1. It's awesome!

So it looks like we might want to recommend three potential paths we could recommend people to explore:
- For basic CentOS VMs, use a CentOS-provided cloud image, with our
custom metadata tweaking script.
2. Why create a custom script if maybe virt-builder can handle it? I don't know if you can point virt-builder to other images than those on libguestfs.org, but this should be possible, include an centos cloud-image on libguestfs.org and just use virt-builder
- For more versatile image set-up and manipulation (including other
operating systems), use virt-builder.
- If you're thinking about using libvirt anyway, use virt-install and
install from installation media.
3. as a fallback if virt-builder is not available or you don't got the images from libguestfs.org cached or you don't have direct internet access: ok, for other purposes I guess virt-builder should be enough?
Does that sound reasonable?
