Hi Glen!

I have no general problem with adding support for extensions into the
Glance API, but I don't think I would implement it like the OS API
1.1.

Could you be so kind as to flesh out an example extension that
Rackspace is interested in building? This would serve as a useful
example and can get the discussion going a bit.

Thanks!
