[Bug 1483159] Re: Canonical naming for non-x86 architectures

[Scott Moser]

Daniel,
Your suggestion that openstack should not be in charge of "fixing" strings does make sense, but it should at least be configurable to reject invalid strings for well known properties.  That way the user fails the upload (or the property set) rather than arbitrary failure further down the line.
