I'm not Mark, but I have a question.  When you say "this functionality",
which of the following do you mean?

* A first-boot service that runs 'guix system reconfigure'.

* A Guile module to facilitate querying the EC2 metadata server - this
  would provide the metadata-get-keys procedure as shown above.

* The ability to register a user's SSH public keys by declaring them in
  the operating system configuration file, as shown above.
