1. If You spawn new vm with fixed IP address only, You don't need to have working L3 agent but You still need to have working metadata service to make it boot properly.
2. What about other processes, like dnsmasq, keepalived, etc. which are also spawned in same way as metadata proxy by DHCP or L3 agents? Do You want to treat them in same way which can cause data plane break too, or do You want to treat them differently?
3. I think that this should be handled as RFE and discussed on drivers meeting. I'm personally not a fan of such idea but maybe others will have different opinions :)
