I think that is a violation. I don't think that allows us to make more changes, just because we've broken the contract once, so a second infraction is less significant. > If we added an IPv6 endpoint that the metadata service listens on, it would > just be another place that non cloud-init clients don't know how to talk > to.

No, but if Amazon were to make a decision about how to implement IPv6 in EC2 and how to make the Metadata API service work with IPv6 we'd be supporting two implementations - the one we came up with and one for supporting the way Amazon implemented it. -- Sean M.
