No problem, IMO the switch to ext4 makes more sense anyway, but let's see
what others think.

That's possible -- and we've built our own custom boxes in the past -- but
it's additional work to build each time there's an upstream release. If I
were to go this route only to increase the disk image size, I'd consider
building a customized image per-client instead (with puppet pre-run), and
that's what I'm trying to get away from. For the most part we've been happy
with your Vagrant image, we're just hitting these disk size issues for some
clients with large data sets.

Thanks,
Jeff
