The Preferences page lets users enter Ubuntu archive URLs. But those URLs no longer have any meaning.
The import_boot_images Celery task copies these settings into environment variables MAIN_ARCHIVE, PORTS_ARCHIVE, and CLOUD_IMAGES_ARCHIVE — but that, to my eye, is as far as they go. The new import script doesn't care about these settings.
We do need new settings for the Simplestreams sources, of course, but that's not a simple matter of re-purposing these widgets. The Simplestreams sources are not tied to a fixed number or fixed roles, and each needs image selections associated with it.
The existence of the dysfunctional settings has already led people into trouble with the Trusty beta. |

The main and ports archives are still used for the preseeds, but the cloud-images archive seems to be a rudimentary tail.
