Also, as for the tagging, I wasn't suggesting a change to how images are tagged save for potentially modifying it such that the manifest list image is the default tag, versus the x86_64 image.

I'll do exactly that, thanks for the information!  Sorry if I was running in circles a bit, my exposure has been relatively minimal.  I'll do my best to join in next week :)
