Public bug reported:

Upstream Python has deprecated platform.linux_distribution()[1] and the
implementation is being removed in 3.7. This has an effect on template
rendering during install and possibly other places in the code during
runtime.

Options are to use an external module [2] or implement logic in cloud-
init to detect the distribution.

During a brief IRC discussion on January 24th, 2018, started at 3:39:23
P.M. EST it was concluded that cloud-init should not have a dependency
on the external distro module.
