Each criteria is explained briefly below, so that the OPNFV community understand them in the same way.
Installer
The installer is a collection of scripts and tools that will enable the associated distribution to be installed. The installer should be flexible to support most configurations required by the distribution as well as the upstream projects that are of interest to us. In this row we will specify the best supported installer on this distribution.
