For testing in Openstack Glance, I'd prefer to point users directly to
the compressed qcow2 image, instead of giving them complicated
instructions this:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Getting_started_with_OpenStack_Nova#Downloading_Existing_Images

I've attached patches for appliance-creator (tested) and koji
(untested) which add --compress option, could you please try them out?

If it is too big for mirrors, then publish it at
http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/ ?
