Public bug reported:
Except for existing setups, almost everyone will want manage_etc_hosts:
localhost by default. Without this, various things end up broken because
a system can't look up its own hostname.
Are there any use cases where a default of manage_etc_hosts: localhost
will cause problems?
To avoid stepping on people's toes, I'm not suggesting making the change
retrospectively. But if new Ubuntu releases start doing it (eg. with
Bionic) and old releases maintain existing behaviour, then we'd get
there over time. Is there any existing mechanism or process for changing
cloud-init defaults like this?
