Public bug reported: As currently implemented, cloud-init will read either OVF CDrom *or* the vmware IMC data.
That means if user-data is provided in the OVF environment file then it will not be consumed at all by cloud-init. It seems we need to either: a.) support reading and merging these two sources of information b.) provide some way to feed user-data through the IMC path separately.
