We are hosting cloud-init in the base CentOS Extras repo, making it
available everywhere, without any extra configs, and keep track of it
and keeping it in sync with EPEL is something that we need to address.
Dropping it from some targets might be ok, but as a first step I think
we should:

- find a way to make sure everyone gets a fair chance for updates
- find a way to communicate patches for features going in
- move some of the repo / target / distro specific content like the
default user, into macros in the spec files, enclosed in suiteable checks.
