Is this really something we are going to have to deny at
least once per release? My God how is it that this is the
#1 thing everyone for all time has always wanted Nova to
do for them?</blockquote>

<p>I am going to jump into the fray here ...</p>
<p>I think that at some point we need to do a cost/benefit
analysis. If customers really want this, than maybe it is worth
the potential technical debt. Going down a route of hacking
something together from the client seems to potentially incur more
technical debt and create a worse UX.</p>
<p>At the risks of having things thrown at me, I am going to say
that this could have a number of benefits. It could be leveraged
by the Cinder Ephemeral driver that is being considered. Volume
types associated with compute hosts could be used to ensure use of
storage local to the compute host that is managed by Cinder.</p>
<p>Anyway, that is my $0.02.</p>
