Hi cloud-init community,

   A belated followup that cloud-init 23.2.1 officially published to Ubuntu
20.04, 22.04, 22.10 and 23.04.  Expect recent cloud images to contain this
version of cloud-init on Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal) and more recent series.  One
release blocker was discovered during the Ubuntu stable release update
verification process of 23.2 that prompted us to push a point release.

LP: #2025180: Fix NoCloud datasource detection from kernel command line
parameter `ds=nocloud-net`.

The upstream patch release is available at
https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/releases

Thank you all for your extended testing and feedback,
- Chad
