I was really thinking of a "notes" text box that I can input instructions
as I am uploading the image through glance. (I actually use he horizon gui
to create new images..create them first and upload thru there instead of
with glance image-create)..
It would be sweet if ther3 was a notes/description field there. So when
someone goes to launch an instance, they will see the notes either
somewhere in the "Flavors" screen or in the instances screen.
A simple text box..we dont really need to slip that stuff into the metadata
for this. ...

So...does this mean I can do that right now?
