That page has a deprecation notice at the top, and links to here: http://wiki.smartos.org/display/DOC/Managing+Images

In any case, it seems like any of the data in an image manifest could be handy. If possible, the terminology used in ohai should match the terms used in the vendor docs. You can copy the data to a "standard" name if there's a use case for treating an attribute in a cross-platform way (e.g., some standard attributes get copied to node[:cloud] from the cloud-specific location like node[:ec2])
