+    #   1. OVF as a container format is misnamed. We really should be using
+    #      OVA since that is the name for the container format; OVF is the
+    #      standard applied to the manifest file contained within.
+    #   2. We're currently uploading a vanilla tarball. In order to be OVF/OVA
+    #      compliant, we'll need to embed a minimal OVF manifest as the first
