Sorry to revive this thread again but I had an idea that I wanted to
discuss before this API goes into a release: How about we have a
OsinfoInstallConfig:install-script (of type OsinfoInstallScript)
rather than having OsinfoInstallConfig:config-params (and
'path-format', 'avatar-format' etc) duplicated on both objects? IMO
that makes a lot more sense since that not only avoids duplication of
API (and some strings) but also makes things more clear: Whether a
config is associated/specific to a script or not? If it is, which
install script is exactly its tied to?
