[yocto] [wic] Fixed size partitions (--grow)

Hello,

I have a question regarding wic. If this is not appropriate list to ask, 
then
please point me to correct one.

wic seems like a really simple and powerful tool. My intention was to create
disk image with multiple partitions with fixed size. While the first 
part seems
doable, the second does not. I have found a suggestion there [1] that recent
wic may support --grow and --maxsize switches. As I found out, it does not
(correct me if I'm mistaken).

So the question is, how hard would it be to implement those options and
what would be necessary to do so. Those are available in kickstart [2]. 
As far
as I understand, wic is based on kickstart project. Do you think it is 
desired
that wic would have the ability to produce fixed size partition based on 
yocto
images?

Maybe You have some experience with this issue or other workarounds to 
achievie
similar goal.

Thanks
