actually have any direct feedback/messages regarding the result.  One thing
that's been talked about in the past is adding additional information to
the status which could be presented so that end users and tools like
Horizon would have a little more information.

The trick is however we also do NOT want driver info going back to the end
user, the whole point of Cinder is to abstract all of that backend specific
type stuff.  The idea kicked around in the past was to introduce a
sub-state with a bit more detail, but still wouldn't be anything specific
from the driver.

Sounds like a good topic to revisit for the Liberty release.​
