Hi Wido. sorry for late reply. Thanks, that sounds great.
Yes we can move from SS to PS if we accept that once 4.12 is deployed with updated code, in order to migrate a particular's VM iso, the VM needs to be stopped & restarted. Then the iso will be recreated. My suggestion would be merging in Config drive support and declare as experimental in 4.11 , then people (ops and devs) can use it for experimental use and give feedback and we can further harden it in 4.12 and declare it as GA. I think any other way won't work. Let me know your view.
