Also we need to put some test in Minikube repository as part of their regression testing for the ISO. Because the ISO only gets released after it passes the tests. Once these things are fixed we need to wait at least few weeks (around 3 weeks) to see how this is going and then make the switch if everything goes fine.

If we see (issues or IRC discussions) users are still using B2D (i.e. through --iso-url) we need to plan accordingly. I guess 3 months is a good time to take a call on this.
