I'd like to get your feedback for the bug[1] and the commit[2]. We use Keystone as company internal role management system and hit the issue frequently.

The commit is to change instance_system_metadata table schema, but it could be too big change only for the long role list.

Another idea I can imagine is to introduce "store_boot_roles" boolean configuration to store the boot_roles or not. IIUC, the boot_roles is used only by a specific vendor data in the metadata api.

If there is another good value to store from Keystone side, I'm happy to use the value instead of role name, too.
