My recollection of the reasoning is that we had a short time (before the
original G1G1 image deadline) to pull this together, and decided that
it's much more flexible to fix bugs and handle translations and giving
instructions on devkey installation on the server-side, rather than
needing to preload them all ahead of time.  Scott will know more, since
he did the work.

- Chris.
