[ovirt-devel] cloud-init network interface alias

[Dobó László]

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?
