Yes, that's probably the biggest issue. Dan Walsh has already written
some policy for glance, though, so I fully expect policy for Nova to
magically appear soon :)

Yes. We're currently using the Diablo milestone4 release and Diablo is

Yeah, I think we're pretty late too. Nice instructions for building
Fedora images should do it, I think. And the Oz instructions are fairly
close to that.
