Question
Safe to remove cloud-init packages post-installation?
Once a (Ubuntu) droplet has been deployed, is it safe to remove the cloud-init, cloud-guest-utils and cloud-initramfs-growroot packages?
Is cloud-init used for things like resizing / root password reset / rebuild from image?
Thanks!

Tacking onto this: are there any plans to have an “OPT OUT” for installation of this by default?
