This will make it so we can mark the lifecycle of hardware so we can automatically stop provisioning new instances of a particular family.
Note that in general I expect lifecycle to be changed at pricing time (e.g. Netflix might deprecate an instance family before broad deprecation0, but once a family is more than 2 generations behind current we can mark it deprecated in the defaults (e.g. if we were to record m3 or r3 those should clearly be deprecated).
