virtual appliances for Plone

Guy Heckman and I are putting together a VMWare appliance and a VirtualBox appliance for Plone 4.0.5. There are a couple of places we can (eventually) get them hosted: 

http://vmware.com/appliances/directory/cat/502

and

http://virtualboximages.com/

and possibly

http://www.turnkeylinux.org/

Or we could use BitTorrent to distribute them from someplace else.

Is there interest in pointing to these appliances from plone.org?  Perhaps making a plone.org/appliances or plone.org/eval section?  The point of these appliances is to make it easy for someone to evaluate Plone.  There are a lot of appliances out there for other CMSs.  We could make them for a mix of OSs as well as for things like the PloneEdu buildout.  Do we want to set some ground rules on what kinds of documentation goes with these, or what they can contain, and should we organize now who will maintain these as OS and Plone versions come out?
