So this allows you to include 'a directory' as source of a partition to be created, right? If my understand is right, I like the feature. My only concern is people overusing it and adding contents which are not 'tracked' in the build system in a product release which seems attractive when we first think about it but cause some management, tracking and authenticity check problems in long term. I don't know how to better address this from wic perspective. Usually we end doing multiple images as part of the build process for those special cases and I don't know how wic could be 'told' about those secondary rootfs existence. -- Otavio Salvador O.S.
