I believe it is better to have a Vagrantfile up front and center starts the preferred environment, in this case, OpenShift and additional Vagrantfiles that do other things available or easily created from documentation.

A user who doesn't  want what the project considers the default is going to get annoyed pretty quickly at having to always boot what they don't want just so that they can turn on what they want and sit through another provisioning cycle.

There is no single "correct" Vagrantfile in my opinion.  Our simplification efforts will pay big dividends, but we shouldn't try to solve it all in one "mother" file.

The k8s focused user should know Linux well enough I think, after all their experience will mostly focus on JSON file editing since that is how k8s is to be used.
