I see that cloud-init uses net-tools (ifconfig and route) for displaying of network interfaces and routes. You maybe know that net-tools have been deprecated for quite a long time and we (as well as other distributions [1][2]) try to eviscerate its use from as many packages as possible.
I've created 2 patches that replace use of ifconfig and route with 'ip addr' and 'ip route'. I could send them to upstream myself but I see there are several patches in spec file so you have probably more experience with this. Will you do that for me ?
If you decide to apply this patches in Fedora then remove the superflous
'Requires: net-tools' line from spec file.
