If we choose to not include cog then we should either include a
modest, useful image that explains how to get more packages, what cog
is and how to get it, OR we should include a text file that explains
how to get an image, additional packages,and what cog is and how to
get it.

If we assume that everyone ... is smart enough we may end up losing a
lot of new folks.
