Has anyone looked at doing something similar for Nova for instances and
Glance for images ?
In many cases, the names get heavily overloaded with information.

The nova instances table already has a display_description column:
http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/nova/tree/nova/db/sqlalchemy/models.py#n287
Couldn't that just be used? It doesn't look like the nova boot command
in the CLI exposes it though. Seems like an easy enough add.
Although the server create API would have to be changed since today it
just sets the description to be the same as the name:
http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/nova/tree/nova/api/openstack/compute/servers.py#n589
That could be enabled with a microversion change in mitaka though.
