It would be probably seen as more "official" if it was mentioned on our
website.

This is something that would require a virtually offline box to be fully
automated. For the time being, it sounds better to upgrade your vagrant

Also, any plans to expand the scope to support OpenStack, AWS and GCE?
At the moment the scope sounds rather limited.

Can you actually give more details how it's going to look like?
