A wonderful game in finding wide variations in SD cards... I know.

Ah, the more the merrier IMHO.
I am using Alie's image on a Pi now.
I actually think it's a nice idea for some people to create custom
images with specific functions, which we've discussed in NYC*BUG.
Cleanly setup DNS, some sip-like functions, monitoring (like with
sysmon), www with Hiawatha and what I'm doing with Tor on the BeagleBone
and Raspberry Pi.
Some people are going to hack away on the builds, and there are others
who want it just to work and say, try a BSD on it. However, 'official'
projects images would be nice at some point.
