 I'm not sure we should add this.   Discussion is welcome.

The idea with koan is to keep all of these options centrally managed in 
Cobbler, so exercise the benefits of being able to manage profiles/systems
there.   If you are doing something without Cobbler you can use 
virt-install directly and get pretty much all of that capability -- koan 
is a simple wrapper around the python-virtinst library to make it work 
with a remote Cobbler server PLUS the addition of the --replace-self 
code for metal and to enable the Live CD for "PXE-simulation" as it were.

It also keeps the numbers of arguments down in koan, so you ensure 
everything is centrally managed, consistant, and repeatable -- which is the
reason Cobbler has profiles -- to keep datacenters consistant.

Is there something missing in virt-install (the CLI app) that would be 
required to achive the above?
