Nope. This came up last cycle or two where compose had a weird bug
preventing umount of the installation root fs image file, resulting in
a corrupt file system and ensuing boot failure of the ISO. And
actually there were some non-release blocking images that we simply
did not ship because of those failures, and they were not respun, and
releng said we couldn't even use a prior successfully built ISO.

I don't recall the reason, something to do with either signing or
metadata or something... I think it's known an alternative would be
nice, especially given the big pile of images we're creating now, but
I don't know what work is needed.
