The *right* fix here is to replicate all the data in cobbler that we also need 
in Maas, and then fix the setup script in vdenv to poke them nodes directly 
into MAAS using the API.  MAAS will then update cobbler itself.

AFAIK, the only missing data is the virsh parameters, MAAS takes everything 
else.

My branch was meant as a quick stopgap to get us up and running quicker.

Correct, this is an oversight at the moment.  I am not sure this is covered in 
any stories either :/

Right.

Maybe we should default to READY now until commissioning is worked on?
