I fully and wholeheartedly agree that inventory management is out of scope of Ironic. But I have a small suggestion: We'd do well as a community to adopt/evangelize an informal rule which I enforce at work (because I see this happen a lot when brainstorming with cross-project goals); we cannot say

I agree with Devananda's definition of Œhardware discovery¹ and other tools similar to Ironic use the term discovery in this way, however I have found that these other tools often bundle the gathering of the system properties together with the discovery of the hardware as a single step from a user

+1 for the separation I already gave up of the term "discovery" as you can see on the DRAC Hardware Introspection[1] spec, I also don't think that "introspection" is the best word for that (we already use the world "cloud" for OpenStack so it can't get more confusing than that). Perhaps "interroga
