No plans to change that at the moment, but agreed it is against accepted
convention. It would be a lot of work to change the tool, change the AMIs,
and test everything. My suggestion is not to hold your breath for such a
change.

spark-ec2, as far as I understand, is not intended for spinning up
permanent or production infrastructure (though people may use it for those
purposes), so there isn't a big impetus to fix this kind of issue. It works
really well for what it was intended for: spinning up clusters for testing,
prototyping, and experimenting.
