Comment 4 for bug 894279

I'll get to this early next week.
but one more comment. The initial poll that is timing out for openstack is just to check to see if the metadata service is there (ie, "is this EC2?"). Then immediately after that, cloud-init crawls the metadata service. So, we make 1 call until it succedes , and then maybe 18 calls or so. So if its a 10 second wait, that blocks boot by 180 seconds on the crawl :-(
