Which "customers" want to get the possible host list?

/me imagines someone asking Amazon for a REST API that returned all the 
possible servers that might be picked for placement... and what answer 
Amazon might give to the request.

If by "customer", you are referring to something like IBM Smart Cloud 
Orchestrator, then I don't really see the point of supporting something 
like this. Such a customer would only need to "create a resource plan 
for those operations" if it was wholly supplanting large pieces of 
OpenStack infrastructure, including parts of Nova and much of Heat.
