Comment 5 for bug 284760

This definitely would be nice. Because I've been delinquent on getting a replacement for ec2-version-query, its really not possible right now.

At some point, I hope to be producing something on s3 storage that is web accessible and laid out like ec2-version-query, so this would be easier to do.

At very least, though, you'd have to feed vmbuilder a region to run in (or default to us-east-1). I don't think vmbuilder takes any such input right now.
