Hi Dmitry!

1. as I mentioned above, we should have an interface, and if interface
doesn't
    provide required information, you will have to fix it in two places,
    in Nailgun and in external-serializers, instead of a single place i.e.
in Nailgun,
    another thing if astute.yaml is a bad interface and we should provide
another
    versioned interface, or add more data into deployment serializer.
2. it can be handled in python or any other code (which can be wrapped into
tasks),
    why should we implement here another entity (a.k.a external
serializers)?

Thanks,
