But I must say: to an outsider, the existing naming does not explain how these 2 things relate to each other. We are adding a description of the 'self-hosted-image' to Hob, including a link to the Build Appliance page in the Yocto Project website. But I am not sure it will be enough to fully explain the relationship between both. Is there any reason why the recipe and the ovf file need to have different names?
