During the implementation of blueprint request-filter-image-types, I left a FIXME to follow-up and add an ability for an operator to configure compute nodes to not expose image formats that they *can* support, for situations where they may not be desired. Consider a remote compute node which *can* support raw images, but for which you want to require that the user use qcow2 for transfer efficiency. This adds a new compute-level config option which allows excluding image types, which will be filtered out of the traits list in a general way, to avoid having to honor the list in each driver.

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:
Developers
For information on how to contribute to Nova, please see the contents of the CONTRIBUTING.rst.
Any new code must follow the development guidelines detailed in the HACKING.rst file, and pass all unit tests.
