stacks/detail: stack has descriptions & template_description

[Vijendar Komalla]

stacks/detail returns list of stacks with details.
In this list of stacks it was observed that each stack has identical 'description' and 'template_description'.
Is this intentional?

[Zane Bitter (zaneb)]

Unless they were all created from the same template, it doesn't sound intentional.

| template_description | Template that just defines a single compute instance. |

I'd assume the original thought was to have a description for the stack (seperate from the template description), but the api does not seem to support that and we are still returning both.

https://github.com/openstack/heat/blob/master/heat/rpc/api.py#L36
https://github.com/openstack/heat/blob/master/heat/engine/api.py#L97-L98

We probably can't remove anyone of these without breaking the api.
