Also, we have images with all of those paths with "base" replaced by 
"cloud-init" -- we're now building (experimental!) cloud-init AMIs.  These 
will also
be present (hopefully!) in tomorrow's 14.0-BETA5 builds.

On my to-do list (but almost certainly not arriving until after 14.0-RELEASE)
are ami-builder (which I've built manually after the fact until now), minimal
(no debug symbols, and possibly with other things removed, I haven't decided
yet), and patched (automatically re-rolled to have the latest security updates
applied).

These are, of course, subject to me finding time to work on this stuff.
