Except that it very likely isn't going to use less bandwidth. We already
mirror most of these package repos so all transfers are local to the
nodepool cloud region. In total we seem to grab about 139MB of packages
for a neutron dvr multinode scenario job (146676348 bytes) on Ubuntu
Xenial. This is based off the package list compiled at
http://paste.openstack.org/raw/621753/ then asking apt-cache for the
package size for the latest version.

Kolla images on the other hand are in the multigigabyte range
http://tarballs.openstack.org/kolla/images/.
