If we are not going to have a 3.10 ISO (which your initial paragraph seems
to imply), then I feel it would be better to have a good story as to how we
are going to support .qcow2 images before adding this.
In this specific case, I don't think it's a good idea to add info meant for
GNOME live cd images, and tell applications that this info is also good for
GNOME os tree qcow2 images, the requirements for the 2 OSes could end up
being different.
