So, marketing data basically - it doesn't provide any direct value to users at all, but your patch expects them to bear the overhead of additional headers on every API request they make. This is the wrong approach IMO. FWIW, we (the Heat project) had a somewhat similar requirement expressed by our users recently, which ended up being satisfied by a /version_info API path, where users can get deployer (or distributor) specified strings related to the service version. I'm personally not a massive fan of this feature, but for your use-case it makes way more sense than setting headers on every request. https://blueprints.launchpad.net/heat/+spec/heat-build-info Steve _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
