Comment 6 for bug 1951893

I'm confused, there seem to be two different things here:

 1) the spec says that "we decided against machine_type". Has this changed?

 2) this bug is about surfacing "node_type" (which is a field on the Node model). which basically says if the node is a machine, a device or a MAAS controller (possible values are here https://github.com/maas/maas/blob/master/src/maasserver/enum.py#L233) The machine listing page only shows machines, which brings back to the original question from comment #1, on why do we need to report the type.
