Apologies for the mischaracterization. Agreed I've relied heavily on the genericcloud images in the past when running testing/unstable in OpenStack-based public clouds, and have appreciated the ability to do so, but also do need working configdrive so if the image's kernel can no longer support cloud-init mounting a virtual CD presented from Nova/libvirt/Qemu while booting that's a fairly significant break. I can still modify the official images or build my own, so it's not a huge deal for me personally, but a lot of users won't (or can't). -- Jeremy Stanley
