[openstack-dev] [nova] about rebuild instance booted from volume

Deleting all snapshots would seem dangerous though...

1. I want to reset my instance to how it was before
2. I'll just do a snapshot in case I need any data in the future
3. rebuild
4. oops

    If that's what the flag means then it seems reasonable.  I got the 
    impression from the previous discussion that not everyone was seeing it 
    that way though.
