I too agree with Colin. If someone wants to make a custom spin of a
box, my vagrant-builder tool does exactly that.
You can use any of the existing Fedora produced base images as a base.

I've been down the roads to/from vagrant for many years now. It would
be my recommendation to build on existing work I've done, or to have
good reasons why not to. I'd rather throw out my work than to
constantly see people re-invent where it's not needed.
