Having recently been destroying/creating some Linodes, one of the things I do for every one is add the same set of Lish ssh keys for remote access (from my primary admin systems).

It would be nice if there was a way to store a set of Lish ssh keys at the account level, such that they were automatically inherited by any new Linode created on that account. I suppose keeping them linked (against subsequent changes) would be even better, but I'd also be fine with just being prompted to push any changes made at account level to all currently configured Linodes.

I suppose this could grow into a more general "default" configuration which could include some other elements (like, perhaps the alert thresholds, though those are also currently scriptable through the API), but the keys are the pieces I find myself always having to set the same values on each new Linode.

+1 I'd find this handy.

How are your competitors supposed to make any money with the constant flow of your ever-improving the services here in ways we want? They have families to feed too, you know. Have pity, show some mercy on them!
