Description:

The Fedora developers have found that cloud-init 0.7.9 introduces a dependency cycle for the systemd units which cause cloud-init init not to be run (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1430511) in some cases, and have a patch outstanding for this at https://github.com/larsks/cloud-init/compare/0.7.9...0.7.9-patches#diff-a7f940ad724dde4f9e80c7cec7a17b71. This may be worth adopting as it means Arch cloud images are pretty difficult to get right.
This task depends upon

Soooo... I took a quick look and I cannot see anywhere on the upstream issue tracker where the Fedora developers (or anyone else) mentioned this to anyone. https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init

Is this not something upstream should care about? Or is it Fedora-specific somehow?

I don't believe the issue is Fedora-specific (in part because it also affects Arch), but I also couldn't find any signs that the Fedora developers have reported this upstream. There's some discussion of a similar problem at https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1623868, but it's not actually the same issue. I believe https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1662542 is caused by this issue too, though it's reported as only a very specific problem (and only on rhel). I suspect that this affects all distros *except* Ubuntu/Debian, which is why there are so few reports.
