People, I'm not going to volunteer as a mentor (though I could go mentor if so required) so I'm asking colleagues to champion the ideas I bombed you with below. especially the top/best define one: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/4834
If anyone is interested in the third one, I extended my thoughts on that: export in cloudmonkey command format for recreation of a part of one's cloud.
