Open Stack

Hi Iccha,
yes… but information like "created_at", "deleted_at" will not be in the instances.
Using notifications is a good idea but in that case we need to use something like stacky.

Of course we can go through the logs the get this information… but having this info in the DB is so handy.

Maybe I'm completely wrong but I don't see any inconvenient in keeping deleted images in the DB (even if in shadow tables like nova).

thanks,
Belmiro
