Not sure I have all the details or context here. But what would be different
to the minimal dislk image we make for arm? Other than extending to x86
arches?
From my memory of the discussion it's more about marketing, IE what
ships with the Server label. In the minimal ARM image we use the
default fedora-release as opposed to a product specific one and also
all the standard defaults there like ext4 filesystems rather than XFS.
