Nice report and I agree with your decision. In F25 Avocado will be 
useful (hopefully we'll start using it to stress the virt machines 
instead of the still used autotest) and for JeOS only the python 2.7, 
which is much needed even for the small set of tests supported with this 
image.

Next time I'm looking forward to charts and maybe even some fooled 
statistics to make the bigger image better/faster/sexier ;-)
