There was some work done to set up the buildbot
for using stage4 "openstack" image which were
built by prometheanfire, I believe. At some point
there was breakage, and the workflow to produce
those images (iso) stopped working.

The new workflow, or a refresh of the old workflow
can be used to create ready-to-use stage4 images
which are in the qcow2 format, and bootable using
qemu (similar to earlier CI tester)

^ Among other things needing a refresh, 17.0 profiles
were not being used, so a few minor changes were needed
to bump. I talked with prometheanfire in the past 48
hours, and was told we're free to adapt and/or improve
the old tooling if it suits our needs for kernel testing.
