I don't have much experience with AWS yet, so I can't speak to any support issues. We're looking at leveraging it for automated builds initially (occasional up time) for proprietary and open source projects. For making an image public, it would obviously be great if Amazon would sponsor the image... However, if this isn't the case maybe centos.org could publish an image identifier(s) on their website and then have it labeled 'public' on the AWS console. Each image has a unique identifier used to instantiate it, so as long as centos.org publishes approved ids then that would be a pretty good work around in my opinion. Jason Aubrey
