If you're gonna hop into cloud-init, please, let the Googler's @
https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/compute-image-packages know
that you are. They might just get interested.

In my experience, the google metadata thing does not do much. Just
takes care of injecting keys, setting up hostname and helping with
unmounting of disks; which Fedora does without it's help.
