Comment:

 As discussed elsewhere, the likely scope for this change for F21 "reducing
 dependencies of existing cloud-init, particularly cheetah". That is,
 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=974327

 If that's _all_ we want to tackle this time around, I suggest we *do* do
 that, but defer this feature to F22, because while useful to us
 (particularly, reduced need to respin the images due to security updates,
 but also, reduced size), it's not really interesting as a feature in
 itself.

 If we get to the point where we feel an alternate metadata service better
 serves our needs, *then* we need a feature.

 Therefore, I'm moving this to F22. And I'm calling for lazy consensus on
 this -- unless someone wants to commit to tackling the bigger work for F21
 by Tuesday's feature deadline, we'll leave it moved.
