[openstack-dev] [fuel] UI experience

Hi,

that's great to know about this new button behaviour, because I was going
to file a bug few days ago when I was not able to find "Stop" button on UI.
But then I updated to a more recent ISO and the button "appeared" again.
Now I know what that was, thank you. And I can't tell that my own
experience was good. Hiding buttons is much more confusing than disabling
them, IMHO.

Regards,
Alex
