+# KVM Guest Image
+
+This is an image meant to be used as a generic base image for various
+virtualization environments.
+
+To be usable in common environments, it is provided in the *qcow2* format and
+has *cloud-init* installed and enabled.
+
+
+## Implementation Choices
+
+`dracut-config-rescue` is excluded from the image, because the boot loader
+entry it provides is broken.
+
+The environments this image is meant to be used in usually don't require any
+specialized firmware. Thus, in order to keep the resulting image size small,
+all `-firmware` packages are excluded. An exception is the `linux-firmware`
+package, which cannot be excluded because the `kernel` package depends on it.
