Sometimes when I boot a bunch of vms seconds apart, using the key_name 
argument, some instance will not have its key injected.
I found a bug ticket marked "won't fix" with a comment from Vish that 
key injection was for "developer convenience"[1]. Of course
the  personality argument could also be used to inject the file. This is 
odd because key_name is a documented part of nova client, as the files
mechanism. So what is the recommended way to do what the key_name 
argument is documented to do?

I think if key_name is not intended to work it should be removed from 
nova client.
