Thank you for explanations. I missed your patches somehow.

Can we do the same by implementing handling of multiple -e/--image-name options in command line and .wks?
e.g. wic create directdisk-multi-rootfs.wks -e core-image-minimal -e core-image-minimal-dev

directdisk-multi-rootfs.wks:
part / --image-name core-image-minimal --ondisk sda --fstype=ext3 --label primary --align 1024
part /standby --image-name core-image-minimal-dev --ondisk sda --fstype=ext3 --label secondary --align 1024
