write f21-xfce.img to partition 3 of block device
because:
(a) the generic Fedora image just becomes a simple root filesystem
(ie. a direct ext4 image) so it's easy for end users to understand
what it is. And (b) instead of shipping the Fedora image as a
filesystem image, we could consider shipping it as a tar.xz file,
which is useful for other cases such as containers and qemu user
emulation.
Yeah, going this way does provide a lot more flexibility, but at the
cost of more room for user error (tar more so). You could even take it
a step further and have /boot appear on the platform image (as opposed
to OS), such that images could be reissued post-GA with new kernels that
support a wider range of platforms. Also good for remixes.
