Whiteboard
flwang:
Before recover an image, user should be able to list the images which are in 'pending-delete' state. It's not supported by current code for both v1 and v2. So the question is should we allow user to list 'pending-delete' images.
markwash:
My understanding was that 'pending-delete' was just an internal state for the purposes of allowing emergency operational action to recover from an accidental delete. Thus its not really necessary to add api support for it. Does that make sense?
flwang:
After discussed with flaper87, we had an agreement on the 're-use' image id part. I will create a new bp/bug to improve the replication code and hold on the bug 1176978 to try to find a workable way for that scenario.

Enable recover operation for images in pending-delete
After discussion today, we decided it makes sense to plan on deferring this feature to Juno, pending several issues
- should recovery be focused on images or locations?
- how do admins list images/locations that are pending deletion?
- can we isolate this change from the user-facing api? especially since pending-deletion is an optional deployer-facing feature.
Looks like we need a good bit more information about this change, to make the scope more clear and perhaps figure out how it might fit into other admin-facing efforts.
