From a2a1123247a735f8fb18089ef857dc2b77b8a960 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Fifield Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2014 23:38:32 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] Expand the description of extra_capabilities The existing description of extra_capabilities was a bit terse, meaning deployers couldn't easily gauge the power of this option. This patch expands the textual description using information from the blueprint and original commit message, so it can be picked up automatically by the documentation.
