[ovirt-devel] cloud-init network interface alias

Hi, I found a few strange things around the cloud-init network setup. On the network interface field the validation form looks like this: "A-Za-z0-9_-", while the api validation almost the same except you can use the "." (dot) character also. So if I like to define a network interface alias, like "eth0:1" I can't, however the cloud-init application handle it well. Is there any reason why the ":" character need to be forbidden?
