(Get the code!)
So in general I don't think its a big problem to rely on our user audience making a wise decision about selecting swap or not.
If we do something we should only warn about a potential unwise decision and not make automatic decisions on swap etc.
I guess there are various ways this could be done as part of hwpackv2 effort.
One way I would be supportive of is to ship a list of board aliases in hwpack; each alias could have its own meta info for some keys, basically overloading the default. For multi board hwpacks, user could then select the exact (known) board name and would get reasonable warnings based on the known memory setup etc.
For boards we don't know yet, there would be a beagle-generic default alias or something.
In turn images need kind of meta info as well about requirements (e.g. require x11 driver, require 512m, etc.)
