Public bug reported: Upstream Python has deprecated platform.linux_distribution()[1] and the implementation is being removed in 3.7. This has an effect on template rendering during install and possibly other places in the code during runtime.
Options are to use an external module [2] or implement logic in cloud- init to detect the distribution. During a brief IRC discussion on January 24th, 2018, started at 3:39:23 P.M. EST it was concluded that cloud-init should not have a dependency on the external distro module.
