To assuage your conscience: I see it as a question of _which side_ of
the connection to be consistent with — Juju or the raw source of machines.

Big practical points for being consistent with the source of machines,
AFAIC.  We don't want our users to get stuck on "translation errors"
between their cloud's configuration nomenclature and Juju's.  Debugging
this kind of thing is hard enough even for those who know the source code.
