Cannot override template from InstanceMetadata

[Mathieu Gagné]

There is no way to override the template used by netutils.get_injected_network_template within InstanceMetadata.

This could be useful for people implementing drivers which could require a different network template based on flavor or individual instance properties.

This feels like a feature really.

Reason: This patch has been stalled for quite a while, so I am going to abandon it to keep the code review queue sane. Please restore the change when it is ready for review.

This wishlist bug has been open a year without any activity. I'm going to move it to "Opinion / Wishlist", which is an easily-obtainable queue of older requests that have come on.

In case you want to work on that, consider writing a blueprints [1] and spec [2]. I'll recommend to read [3] if not yet done. The effort to implement the requested feature is then driven only by the blueprint (and spec).

"This wishlist bug has been open a year without any activity."

Multiple attempts have been made to merge this "bugfix" over several months:
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/178340/

I abandoned it due to huge amount of work to get what I consider a "bugfix" accepted.
