Would people consider an addition to the instance creation part of

semi-formal RFC wiki setup for people to point at and shout).
What I am having trouble with for this is that it's not clear to me how
to express that in a cross-cloud way.
For clouds that do not support file injection (e.g., EC2), we'd need to
make sure that the image is built in a certain way; should we carry
additional image metadata to tell us which images have been prepped with
a 'file injector' for EC2 ? Or should we assume that file injection will
eventually be available on any cloud ? That heavily influences how we
would express file injection on the API level.
