Hey Martyn, This is fantastic. I do agree this is potentially very interesting to the OpenStack community. And it would be great for Image Factory if they had more than one user, too. That's the whole point of making this stuff modular. This may be something worth putting on our blog/twitter/etc. Do you want to do that? If you're too busy, I (or anyone else) can do a short write-up.
