// Current agent config format is defined as follows:
// # format <version>\n   (very first line; <version> is 1.18 or later)
// <config-encoded-as-yaml>
// All of this is saved in a single agent.conf file.
//
// Juju only supports upgrading from single steps, so Juju only needs
// to know about the current format and the format of the previous
// stable release. For convenience, the format name includes the
// version number of the stable release that it will be released with.
// Once this release has happened, the format should be considered
// FIXED, and should no longer be modified. If changes are necessary
// to the format, a new format should be created.
//
// We don't need to create new formats for each release, the version
// number is just a convenience for us to know which stable release
// introduced that format.

// - Create a formatter for the new version (including a marshal() method);
// - Call registerFormat in the new format's init() function.

// refactoring around the config writing when provisioning a machine as the
// controller may well understand a config format that the model does not. So
// when generating the agent.conf for the model's machine, it needs to be
// written out in a format that the model can understand. Right now it will be
// written out in the format that the controller understands, and that will
// not continue to be correct.
