[Bug 423856] Re: [FFE] ec2-init should check for image upgrades

That's really not much different in terms of privacy than what is being
suggested in this bug.  The image will have to look at a URI like this
for knowing if it's out of date or not:

   http://people.canonical.com/~soren/ec2-version-query/current/eu-
west-1/i386/hardy/ami

Then whoever is maintaining the service will see that *someone* has a
hardy-i386 machine.  I don't really think that the fact that disclosing
that this someone is running version A or B of the given image is that
much different.

> Can we keep the false dichotomies to a minimum, please?

I'm just trying to move the discussion into something constructive,
Soren.  Sometimes it's hard to word things in a way that pleases
everyone.
