Comment 20 for bug 1524916

Ok, without going C extreme, an alternative could be a neutron-ns-metadata-proxy on diet:

2930kB for a bare python could indicate, that if we cut down most external dependencies and stick to the stdlib (argparse, sockets, etc..) we could be in the 3-3.5MB target with python.

As per IRC discussion, that seams a reasonable alternative.

Thoughts? @obondarev, @halleyb, were you looking at those things?
