revno: 910 [merge] committer: Scott Moser <smoser> branch nick: trunk timestamp: Fri 2014-01-17 16:34:53 -0500 message: drop requirement on boto for its boto.utils.get_instance_metadata() We had a requirement on boto only to use boto.utils.get_instance_metadata(). That had actually caused some pain in the past. This removes a Requires and also one that wasn't python3.

Colin, what's the urgency of this? Should we try to get it in F21?
(In reply to Matthew Miller from comment #3) > Colin, what's the urgency of this? Should we try to get it in F21? It causes Atomic F21 to pull in python3, not a showstopper. But a definite Would Be Nice.
