Because the use case of 'live' is trying out/testing an OS/image,
'quickly' is just implied there. Unless you choose to install the OS
during the live session, the VM is also temporary since you not
installing during the live session very likely means you didn't like
it or got what you needed from the session. Besides keeping the VM
creation quick means that automatic deletion isn't really an issue if
user didn't want Boxes to automatically delete the VM on shutdown.

I don't know/remember. You'll have to ask him (don't think he is on this list).
