Hi Albert,
Thanks for filing this bug! Having root's password locked is a sensible
default from a security POV, so we're unlikely to change this. If you
have a compelling reason that we should change this, please do reopen
this bug.
Thanks!

Title:
lock_passwd should not be true by default
Status in cloud-init:
Invalid
Bug description:
I used the users module to add an authorized key to the root user:
users:
- name: root
ssh-authorized_keys:
- {{ authorized_key }}
I was surprised to find that root's password was locked after this
operation - the lock_passwd key has a default of true. Is there a
reason why the locked status can't be left just the way it was,
instead of locking it by default?
