Currently the disks don't contain any metadata about what is installed on them. In order to make the instance types+images really useful, the images also have to contain the following metadata: - operating system - timezone - initrd_url, kernel_url, kernel_params

OS, timezone or kernel params are certainly not the hardware of the VM so it can not be on the instance type. This are all values which are dependent on what is actually installed on the specific disk.

Can you please elaborate a bit more on how do you think it should be done?
Target release should be placed once a package build is known to fix a issue. Since this bug is not modified, the target version has been reset. Please use target milestone to plan a fix for a oVirt release.
We should match some of what Glance strives to store on the disks. Would make life easier later. See http://docs.openstack.org/cli-reference/content/chapter_cli-glance-property.html .
I'd remove the bootable notion altogeher, frankly. Although, perhaps a disk_content_element may be in order.
Closing old RFE's. If relevant, please re-open and explain why.
