Hi,

CentOS 7 has cloud-init with default username set to `centos`. The
CentOS 8 uses standard `cloud-user`. The patch responsible for change is
https://git.centos.org/rpms/cloud-init/blob/c7/f/SOURCES/cloud-init-centos-user.patch
There is no similar patch in
https://git.centos.org/rpms/cloud-init/blob/c8/f/SOURCES

Should it be fixed or is it expected behavior? It's quite important for
me, because if it changes in the future some of our docs will have to be
updated.

Bests,
Alex
