I did create my own version starting from a 4.2 trunk image and I could 
build a VM from it. So the answer is yes. And if I can do it, then others 
can do it too.

Almost everyone uses such VMs, so your statement is not true. It's safer 
to the community if the information is available to everyone, but in the 
current case I have the feeling that it's not about safety.

So which is better?
- duplicate the code in the VM and image
- remove the code from the image and use only the primitives there
- every image should depend on an external package
