[CentOS-devel] Feedback on C7 Vagrant Box

I would suggest keeping the root volume as minimal as possible for the
box and then let the end users to grow it using methods provided by
Vagrant.  Anyone then can grow the volume to their specific use case,
its a lot easier than reducing a default, large disk provided with a
box.

Cheers,
Tim
