Inheritance of image properties from the image an instance was booted from to an image created from that instance is governed by the non_inheritable_image_properties configuration option. However, there are some image properties (for example, those used for image signature validation or to reference a cinder encryption key id) which it makes no sense to inherit under any circumstances. Additionally, misconfiguration of the non-inheritable properties can lead to data loss under the circumstances described in Bug #1852106. So it would be better if these properties were not subject to configuration. The initial set of absolutely non-inheritable image properties consists of those associated with cinder encryption keys and image signature validation.

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
