Apologies Patrick, I still think this brings more complication than 
benefits. And it's not even showcased anywhere in poky: you add the 
variable, but don't take it into use anywhere. Which means it also won't 
get tested.

You can do this thing by creating separate image recipes, each with 
their hand picked IMAGE_FEATURES. And that includes showing appropriate 
motd as well - but that perhaps would not be necessary because the image 
mode would be encoded in its file name.
