Every run we are doing a full tar.gz of the chroot environment that
never gets used.
It's not suitable for CI since we use fresh images each time there.
The cache in general isn't really isn't a very safe thing to have
around, because there's no invalidation procedure and no real way to
make one -- we've no guarantee that a new chroot build even moments
after a previous one wouldn't bring in or different packages, etc (of
course this is *unlikely*, but the longer you go between builds the
worse the problem becomes. Also, tons of packages get installed after
this not from any cache, so potential speed-up is rather marginal.
Debian turned this off with I58fc485aacacaa17243bf9ce760ed91256d1f182.
However, given the reasons above and it's complete lack of testing, I
don't see this as useful.
If we really want this type of thing, I think we should come up with a
way to use a persistent external yum/dnf cache that yum/dnf keeps in
sync with it's usual invalidation rules.

I'm not sure why this comment is here. base works with centos-minimal
(we changed it in I2956aaa49ba3137a799f97e0983ab4b7c93a0a0c) and we've
got images deployed with such a configuration.

Add an environment variable to control the creation of eth0/1
interface enablement scripts.
With a tool such as glean, the presence of these scripts will indicate
the interface is configured and configuration-drive settings will not
be applied. This means in a non-dhcp situation like on Rackspace,
network is broken.
On Fedora, where later systemd provides "predictable network interface
names" [1] eth0 & eth1 ironically aren't predictable so this just
confuses things. You really need cloud-init or glean or something to
bring up your interfaces in a sane fashion.
This maintains the status-quo on centos-minimal, but disables creation
for fedora-minimal.

Now that we have a generic yum-minimal element, just use it in centos
instead of rinse. Adding base as an element-provides of yum-minimal
because this element conflicts with the base element.
