** Description changed: If Python 3.5 starts before the kernel has initialised its RNG, it will hang[0] until there is sufficient entropy for it to randomise dictionary keys. As cloud-init uses Python 3.5, this means that cloud-init will hang until this happens (meaning that the instance won't be properly initialised). I have seen this cause a hang of up to 7 minutes on an OpenStack cloud. + Upstream python bug is issue 26839 [1].
