We do need to support creating all-snap images that support reading cloud init data from a network source. However, this bug report supposes that this should be the default, i.e. when no --cloud-init option is passed. I don't agree that this should be the default - preparing a generic image that you want to collect configuration information from the network that it's attached to is /not/ the common case for snappy, the common case is that the network you're attaching to is unknown/untrusted, and doesn't have any data source anyway leading to annoying timeouts on boot.

So allowing cloud-init to search for network data sources should be handled with an additional option. I don't know if this option belongs on the ubuntu-image commandline, vs. as part of the model assertion.
