[ovirt-devel] RFC - dropping ISO domain creation from engine-setup

[Barak Korren]

It seems to me we still need a way to provide the WTG ISOs. Maybe
include an option in engine to upload them to the an ISO domain the
user creates?
Or perhaps find a way to make them available for use without defining
an explicit ISO domain?
