Hi Andrew,
I don't see anything wrong with the patch, I suppose we could push it after
the instanceType has been moved up. I'm currently working to reproduce a
security check bug discovered during i/o lab, and will continue with the
instanceType when I'm done with it, shouldn't take long.

Regards,
Nadya
