Wouldn't "DC user" work? From the DC users' point of view, it's just another image type that they can create.
Section 3.0: You mentioned that the user can manifest is for DC to create a bootable AI image and create and configure the VM. I think the part about creating a bootable AI image is an implementation detail, which they shouldn't have to know about. From the user's point of view, all they care is that they can specify a list of packages, and perhaps a few attributes of the resulting VM, and DC will do all the work to put those packages into this VM. Section 5.1: After the ICTs, would there be a need to reboot the VM somehow so some of the first boot setups are run? That way, when people boot up their VM image, they don't have to waste the time to wait. Section 6.2.4: Besides those failures you described, what about any error from booting the image, and starting the installation? --Karen
