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. g
