We have the whole /openstack namespace. We can extend it as far as we like. Again, why would aws choosing to go a different way then openstack when openstack did something first be an openstack problem? We're not even talking about a big change. Just making the same md server available on a second ip.

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.
