I don't think we're going to ship vagrant images directly.  I know several
customers are using vagrant with RHEL and we've got some people using it
internally.  We've got some kbase and docs on the customer portal (which
you do have access to with these developer program accounts).

de-registering a box could be made part of the teardown process I would
think.  I've also heard stale boxes (IE: registered systems that are no
longer check-ing in) have some way to do an automated cleanup after 2 days
or so?  I'm a little confused on how that process works though, its
actually on my todo list to check out in February when the new simpler
content access is in place.
