[Ghe Rivero <ghe.rivero@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Essex was released with support for both types of configuration files,
flagfiles (using the --) and the .ini file style, being the
"nova.conf.sample" file included in nova upstream code using the .ini
format.

>From a deployer point of view, this can be really confusing since official
docs, use the .ini format, but Ubuntu 12.04 and docs based on ubuntu, use
the old deprecated flagfile format.

I think that we should start using only .ini files and stop supporting the
old flagfile behavior. The sooner we remove from the development cycle, the
more time the documenters and distributions have to catch up with the "new"
format. Anyway, nova-manage can still be used to convert from flagfiles to
.ini files: (I wouldn't remove this in folsom cycle)

$ ./bin/nova-manage  config  convert --help
Usage: nova-manage config convert <args> [options]

Options:
  -h, --help        show this help message and exit
  --infile=<path>   old-style flagfile to convert to config
  --outfile=<path>  path for output file. Writes configto stdout if not
                    specified.

Thanks,
