That spec seems to be for a strictly informational field. Reading
through it, I guess it's because doing something like this...

    openstack baremetal node set --property owner=lars

...leads to sub-optimal performance when trying to filter a large
number of hosts.  I see that it's merged already, so I guess this is
commenting-after-the-fact, but that seems like the wrong path to
follow: I can see properties like "the contract id under which this
system was purchased" being as or more important than "owner" from a
large business perspective, so making it easier to filter by property
on the server side would seem to be a better solution.

Or implement full multi-tenancy so that "owner" is more than simply
informational, of course :).
