Title:
  distribution detection

Status in cloud-init:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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.
