The issue has been fixed upstream with improvements to ext4 support in u-boot 2016.11,
in Fedora I backported these fixes to uboot-tools-2016.09.01-2.fc25 and they've now
been verified and that release is now stable so we should be good to revert the ext3
partition workaround for F-25 GA.
So is seems that if you remove the machine-id file it won't regenerate the file
but if you touch the file and leave it empty on boot it'll put a new machine-id
in the empty file. So work around this bug ("feature"?) by touching the file
so we don't have other issues in the process.
We're track the outcome of this in RHBZ 1379800
As referenced on the arm list [1] and as already being done on the docker image we
should remove the unique /etc/machine-id file on compose artifacts to ensure it's
regenerated and unique on each deployed host/device. This unifies the process across
all base ks so it's inherited for each artifact.

Due to #1369794 , anaconda cannot currently manipulate sysv
services in F25+. So to work around this, take 'network' out of
the services lines in all kickstarts and instead manipulate
it in the %post section, with chkconfig.
Also remove rsyslog from the Atomic image services line because
it doesn't appear to be included in the OStree tree at present
and so attempting to enable the service breaks Atomic image
compose, see e.g.:
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/9022/15349022/oz-x86_64.log
also correct the name of the ssh service in fedora-arm-base.ks;
it's sshd not ssh.
With e2fsprogs after 1.43 the 64bit and metadata_csum features are
enabled by default. These features are not currently supported in
u-boot and the 64bit feature introduces changes such that it cannot
be read by implementations that do not support it. U-Boot does not
support the functionality and hence now won't mount it just in case
it corrupts the filesystem, which is a reasonable response, this how
ever stops us from booting when we have a ext4 /boot file system
which means basically we end up with a pot plant. Go back to using
ext3 for the time being as the mkfs.ext3 option doesn't enable these
features and we get booting systems!! YAY \o/
initail-setup.service now handles running both the gui mode and text
mode running of initial-setup so just enable the one service and no
longer do any special handling rhbz#1296495

This is pretty cosmetic as live and cloud images don't use passwords
and they install with sha512 fine, but some people may use these
kickstarts as a base for their spins, so we should use best practices.
remove vfat kickstarts, we are going to use u-boot in raw space
without needing two sets of images with different partitioning we
can remove the seperate partitioning snippets and put the
partitioning in base.
Now the switch between using the rawhide repo and the normal repos
can be done by just switching comment lines in one place
(fedora-repo.ks). (Note that the repo lines in fedora-install.ks
don't get changed for branching.)
