I like that. So just to make sure I understand what you mean here:
  - No new boot menu item
  - Whenever cloud-init fails to find a source, we generate an
    expired root pw, disable ssh pwauth, and autologin
  - Atomic Developer Mode is started by a user command (e.g.
    a /usr/bin/atomic-devmode)

Is that correct?

One issue here is that cloud-init takes some time before realizing
that it has no source. It tries to connect to the default metadata
server address. It uses a 50s timeout it seems. We would probably
have to reduce this to something more sensible (5s? 10s?).
