I used cloud-init to fit a different need than a preseeding an install.

I was using it with the downloadable fedora & centos raw images, so I 
could `cp --reflink` an original image, constuct the cloud-init image, 
and run a VM that self-configured (and skipped the install part).  

Basically the niche containers are filling now, except as a whole VM. No 
system install, just configure & run.
