And, just to be clear, in OpenDev our goal is to have only the
things necessary to start the VM and connect with Ansible. We do
also cache some expensive-to-retrieve things like Git repositories
and files nearly every job is otherwise going to try to fetch over
the network into these images, in order to improve job startup times
and stability, but job-specific or project-specific dependencies
should be explicitly installed by the jobs themselves.
