Description

https://github.com/osbuild/images/pull/631#issuecomment-2113140898

  • We don't want to parse user blobs.
  • We want users to be able to do things like add users, which requires a module that we generally enable conditionally.
  • Do we also want users to be able to make an unattended/automatic ISO without needing to specify everything? That would require module control.

Research direction

Start with the discussion linked from pull request 631 and review the existing decisions around user-provided kickstart blobs. Clarify whether users should be able to add users and create unattended ISOs without specifying every module. Done means the module-enabling policy and required control behavior are agreed and documented.
