[lxc-users] Xenial images used to be about 140MB, now went up to 315MB

Hi All,

Until a few weeks ago, the Xenial image ("ubuntu:x" for x86_64), as reported by

lxc image list ubuntu:

used to be around 140MB.
See, for example,
https://simos.info/blog/playing-around-with-lxd-containers-lxc-on-ubuntu/
(138.23MB)


However, if you run now the same command, the size of the image has
gone up to 315MB:

| x (9 more)         | 295d53ae6db4 | yes    | ubuntu 16.04 LTS amd64
(release) (20160815)     | x86_64  | 315.82MB | Aug 15, 2016 at
12:00am (UTC) |

It looks like an error, since all other images in the list are all under 150MB.
