Thanks to much input from everyone during this morning's meeting, I've
re-organized the doc (IIAB install image guidelines above) into 18
sequential steps.

I rewrote many of these sections making it approachable to senior
implementers joining our community, who want join us making meaningful *(quick
to understand)* install images for redistribution to their regions, their
languages, their OS's, and yes their mongrol HW ;)

Conclusion: I need to work with George (and others!) in the coming week to
now wrap this doc up, consolidating its loose ends, the orange sections in
particular.  Thanks you for poking at those orange sections in coming days
to beef up our growing consensus, so we can release an increasing number of
near-bulletproof 6.2 images soon~

*PS no jokes about One Image Per Child will be permitted, as we already
have too many jokes about One OS Per Child ;)*
