OK, so, to move forward with this (and looping in cloud list): does someone want to propose a set (ideally small - 2 would be great, one Xen and one non-Xen, if we can cover most common usages that way!) of EC2 instance types we should test on? With that, we could tweak the criteria a bit to specify those instance types, tweak the Cloud validation page a bit, and then drop the Xen criterion and test case.
