when you do "vagrant up", some sort of provisioning will happen,
wheather you do that with shell or any config management tool.
If we want to provide a vagrant box, that is an official image, i think
our users will expect any of those provisioning providers to work out of
the box.
Thus including those into the vagrant default box makes sense.
Cheers,
Martin, who is a heavy user of vagrant at work!
