@ottobackwards I like @justinleet's suggestion on having a base option. I'd
imagine what we could have is a mechanism that allows you to build an image
with just HDP of a specific version, and snapshot that if you like for general
use, along with the option of just running against a standard image. I dunno,
have we just re-hashed quickdev here? I can't recall specifically how or why it
became problematic for us to maintain. It seems like there should be a path
through this that allows us to not go stale, but also save the 20 min building
the base installation, as Justin pointed out.
