When I wrote that comment, oci-image-tools were capable of creating a
bundle that runc could directly execute.
I'm actually in the process of upgrading bare bundles + runc to work with
the new architecture that I've created for bundling docker and podman
containers (something called vrunc), but that isn't quite ready yet.
So yes, I'd say that we could remove the oci-image-tool reference and just
update it to suggest umnoci like the image-oci-umoci.inc
When I have bare runc working again, I can update the headers will those
details as well.
