A general observation... If this is part of a cloudstack install, then why aren't we simply extending the list of available templates that users can chose from to include those that may start out at a remote location (but may be cached by CloudStack after the first use). Why not also extend the template meta-data to include optional details like what's provided in the listing material? If an admin is already deciding on which templates would be listed in the marketplace, why wouldn't they simply be listed in the global template list? It seems confusing to have to curate two different sets of templates (marketplace and available for immediate provisioning). -chip
