I like the idea, the changes in itself look good, but I really *really* 
do not like the name "exploded". It was not good before as in 
"exploded-image", but this is even worse. :-(

Can we pause this one for just a while and try really hard to come up 
with a better name? If we fail to do that in a couple of days, I'll 
admit defeat and accept the patch as it is. OK?

What about "local" image? "simple"? "quick"? "bare"?
