and easy and wouldn’t require to inspect the image. Similarly, with image inspection, the root filessystem could be determined automatically and ephemeral could be formatted using the same filesystem but I’m not sure if image inspection is supported on all
platforms.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

makes it into core API, and shipping with them on by default is a great first step. Mostly, I'd like to see us able to turn off the "org.openstack__1__" part of the properties, if everyone agrees they are useful :)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

but it would reduce the work required to publish them and help ensure they have a common meaning across deployments. Keep in mind that we would be shipping these as a part of Glance, not as a part of the Images API spec.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
