Description

This is to be able to take a decision if we want to go this way and continue with this code, or want to explore other options.

More than completeness (that is also ok), we should focus on generation, maintainability and how easy to build/distribute it is.

Note that things will get way simpler once it can use the API directly instead of using ssh tunnels for things, so keep that in mind.

That'd be good yes :), I'll send you an invite next week, or feel free to send me one wherever you see an empty slot (I'm off today)

We had a chat and decided that we might want to wait until we have api auth though
