Agreed. I also want to see the CI reporting cleaned up so that it's
readable and consistent. Yesterday I pointed out some issues with the
fact that the actual config files being used are not the ones being
uploaded. There are also duplicate (but not actually identical) logs
from all services being uploaded, including things like a full compute
log from starting with the libvirt driver.

I'm also pretty troubled by the total lack of support for the metadata
service. I know it's technically optional on our matrix, but it's a
pretty important feature for a lot of scenarios, and it's also a
dependency for other features that we'd like to have wider support for
(like attached device metadata).

Going back to the spec, I see very little detail on some of the things
raised here, and very (very) little review back when it was first
approved. I'd also like to see more detail be added to the spec about
all of these things, especially around required special changes like
this extra AE agent.
