Actions

[William Reade]

Actions will not be using SSH to get to the machines; they'll be integrated
into the model. We hope to retire the direct-SSH implementation of juju run
so as to allow the same functionality via an implicit action, but we're not
worrying about that until we have the actions infrastructure in place.

Independent of juju run, I wouldn't *encourage* the use of arbitrary code,
but I can't see any sane way to prevent charm authors from defining an
action that accepted arbitrary code as a parameter -- and it's indeed
likely that we'll end up considering juju run to be literally an action
that accepts arbitrary code. We will of course need to exercise care wrt
permissions: the ability to execute juju run is clearly essentially
equivalent to the ability to ssh and hence execute arbitrary code.

Cheers
William
