I'm not. Being neither a cloud operator nor Windows user, I'm unable
to gauge the degree to which this functionality is useful. Thomas
had indicated that it was the only option for setting initial admin
passwords on new Windows guests (short of baking them into your
images, I guess? or automatically enrolling them in something like
Active Directory/LDAP maybe). I don't personally know what people
who boot Windows in OpenStack clouds normally do.
