Ok so IMHO it's pretty useless. I thought it was comparable to anaconda=

where you specify the rootpw and an optional user. I expect many call's=
; 
if we don't explain they have to use the username root. But we're

root user ourselves I guess. 
 
Let's say a customer creates a new vm, add's a Centos iso to boot from=
 
and wishes the add a rootpw and admin user account, is there any way to=
; 
do this currently?

If I create templates with initialized root or sudo, I wouldn't have any=

need to use cloud init to add another user. I could have done that in<=

the template as well. Also the templates will become single user as it=
