python-novaclient does not support extended status

Why do you need to have the extended status in nova list? It's already available in nova show, and the list table has quite a bit of info in it already. I'm not against doing this, I just want to make sure we do it for the right reasons

Hey Brian -

The main motivation is for rough cli parity with dashboard:

Otherwise, it is easier to check dashboard than to do 'nova list' if you have more than a few instances. I actually did not see the information in 'nova show' either:

Looks like a policy issue:

(in nova) etc/nova/policy.json: "compute_extension:extended_status": [["rule:admin_api"]]

Is there a reason to not expose this info to all users by default?
