Public bug reported:

If you have a bad URL or inaccessible server referenced in an #include
document, a cloudinit.url_helper.UrlError is thrown which is not caught,
so it aborts the stage and an instance can be left unconfigured.

I've proposed a patch here: https://code.launchpad.net/~ajorgens/cloud-
init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/331660

Obviously a bad URL is not a great case, but aborting and leaving the
instance unconfigured seems the worst choice in this scenario because it
may not even be possible to log in to troubleshoot.
