Right, we're using the same term ("--constraints") to describe both the
default machine constraint (I think for all models unless otherwise
specified?) and the app-specific constraint on a particular service.
That's not very easily understandable. We should have a nice way to talk
about defaults, and use that for default machines too, not use a --foo
which is commonly used for something totally different.

To me, the bootstrap command is all about deploying the controller. It's
effectively juju deploy controller --constraints. I would expect the
bootstrap constraints to affect the controller machines only. And I
would expect some sort of model-defaults schema to talk about other
default behaviors.
