Probably keep for one release cycle.

After that I'd like to see scripts / mechanism to easily build custom
installation images. Such that we can give apkovl and it gives boot
media back. This would be useful for 'appliance' type setups.

I have no good suggestions for renaming them. But renaming current
standard as 'network' is confusing, since I'd assume 'network' image to
require network for installing everything. Same goes for 'live'.

'offline' sounds best so far. Or maybe just call it 'large' or 'full' ?
