I think what we're specifically interested in is actually the GNOME OS
installer, rather than the image generator.

Do they have an installer that copies a disk image / partition images to
the target disk?  Does the installer image also provide a live GNOME OS
environment?  Do they have A/B updates?  How do those partitions get
created in the install process?
