Doc Text:	.The Image Builder rebased to version 19.7.33 and fully supported The Image Builder, provided by the `lorax-composer` package in the RHEL 7 Extras Channel, has been upgraded to version 19.7.33. Notable changes in this version include: * The Image Builder, previously available as Technology Preview, is now fully supported. * Cloud images can be built for Amazon Web Services, VMware vSphere, and OpenStack. * A Red Hat Content Delivery Network (CDN) repository mirror is no longer needed. * You can now set a host name and create users. * Boot loader parameters can be set, such as disabling Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) with the `nosmt=force` option. This is only possible from `composer-cli` tool on command line. * The web console UI can now edit external repositories ("sources"). * The Image Builder can now run with SElinux in enforcing mode. To access the Image Builder functionality, use a command-line interface in the `composer-cli` utility, or a graphical user interface in the RHEL 7 web console from the `cockpit-composer` package. // * Images can be created on all architectures supported by RHEL. // * Boot loader parameters can be set, but only using manual blueprint editing and import with the `composer-cli` tool on command line.

Thanks very much! I have two minor comments:

> * Boot loader parameters can be set, such as disabling Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) with the `nosmt=force` option.

Please mention that this is only possible from composer-cli.


> // * Images can be created on all architectures supported by RHEL.
> // * Boot loader parameters can be set, but only using manual blueprint editing and import with the `composer-cli` tool on command line.

Please leave these out (looks like they are already commented out?)
