between wic and those examples is that with wic the functionality
of those scripts is implemented by a general-purpose partitioning

The initial motivation and design considerations that lead to the
current tool are described exhaustively in Yocto Bug #3847
(https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3847).
- Though the current wic tool only uses the kickstart syntax related
- to partitioning and bootloaders and only for creating images,
- because the code is based on the mic/pykickstart code, future

- all of those are implemented in some form by the base system.

Implementation and Examples
wic can be used in two different modes, depending on how much
