You make a fair point, and this is something we've struggled for during the Ironic driver implementation. We _know_ that baremetal works (I know of at least one 1,000 node deployment), but we _don't_ know how widely its deployed and we don't have a good way to find out. So, I think we're left assuming that people do use it, and acting accordingly. Then again, is it ok to assume admins can tweak their code to use the ironic API? I suspect it is, because the number of admins is small...
