I would hardly say that "ec2-user" is standard, it's just what Fedora and
Amazon Linux (maybe a few others) have used up to this point. CentOS uses the root
account, Ubuntu uses "ubuntu" and Debian is "admin".
I like the idea of using "fedora" for all public and private cloud images.

Fair enough: current Ubuntu doesn't provide a default user at all: either
cloud-init makes it, or it doesn't exist.

Note that we also use cloud-init so the username can be driven by
cloud metadata. The question is what to use as the default when that's not
provided.
