Doesn't this go in the "wrong" direction?

There's a lot of heterogeneity in cloud settings out there, and I dream
of centralizing Debian policy decisions on how to initialize images in a
single place, from where derive all cloud-specific instantiations of it.
Rewriting cloud init sounds like duplicating the information, making it
harder in the long run to maintain it.

Of course, this is free software, so anyone is free to rewrite whatever
they like :-) But I can't help wondering: wouldn't it be better to adapt
cloud-init to your needs? Did you consider that as an alternative (and
maybe dismissed it for some valid reason)?

Cheers.
