I have looked through the source of the arm-image-installer and now understand exactly what it is doing and yes I see how it really is not suited to setting the FS, the image determines that.
BTRFS versions of the minimal images would be nice but I guess not essential as I have managed until now without BTRFS on my ARM devices.
If doing BTRFS images for none-desktop images, then minimal is probably enough as one can build up whatever they want from that.

Neal and Matthew thanks for clarifying that. Yes the various announcements do say desktop editions, the significance of that must have just passed me by.
would be nice if the ARM image installer would allow selecting the FS when writing the image. Not sure how much work that would be to support.
Unfortunately, that would be very hard. If it was desired, *maybe* we could produce alternate Btrfs-based versions for the non-desktop variants...
