 Huh. That's news to me. I wonder why we'd bother implementing it if we
 don't want people to use it?



I was the one who made that doc edit, but I added that particular text on
suggestion of Scott Moser. The review in question was:

   http://docs.openstack.org/user-guide/content/config-drive.html

 Do we have any information on when will that EC2 metadata be dropped?

 I would like to get the fixed ip from the metadata, and I only found it
 in the EC2 section.

 Are there any plans to include the IP info in the OS metadata?

It shouldn't be hard to do... Can you file a bug to track it and let
me know the bug id?

Thanks,
Michael
