I get it, but in this case the ship has sailed on rebuild. People are 
using it. It's been around forever.

The point of the question that started this thread is really, do we 
allow this minor thing to come into the API (user_data) to replace 
something we're removing from the API (personality files).

In the grand scheme of things, this is not going to make or break 
anything probably, it might make some users happy but I certainly don't 
think it's a monumental step in supporting pets.

Completely new API workflows like built-in instance HA or something like 
that to Nova would be spending a lot of time and resource on supporting 
pets within Nova, and this isn't that thing.
