Its essentially the 'manual provider', which is explicitly about you have
to tell Juju about the machines you might want to use.  I wouldn't think it
would be hard to create a model that used manual provisioning, but its
probably not something we've been driving as a great use case. Things like
needing the right routing, etc, mean its easy for people to add machines
that won't actually work, so it isn't something we've pushed.
