Public bug reported:

I used the users module to add an authorized key to the root user:
users:
  - name: root
    ssh-authorized_keys:
      - {{ authorized_key }}

I was surprised to find that root's password was locked after this
operation - the lock_passwd key has a default of true.  Is there a
reason why the locked status can't be left just the way it was, instead
of locking it by default?
