Before I attempt to submit a PR, I wanted to know if this would have a chance of getting approved.

I would like to define an Image name by regular expression. Our openstack images get rebuilt every month. The new image names include the date. We have to update the image every other month because the Openstack team deletes the older images every other month. If we could specify the image name by regular expression and have it pick the latest, that would save us from having to update every month.

This commit was an attempt to add that back in 2014:

On an aside, you can achieve the same effect by not including timestamps into image name. The plugin would do choose latest by name when there are multiple candidates, and you can choose to be specific by using image ID. The creation time is in image metadata so even the info would not be lost.

Re regex selection, why not. Just make sure it it supported for all BootSources.
