Re: staying as ec2-user for EC2 images : that will be *inconsistent* with other distros. I'm pretty sure that Ubuntu uses 'ubuntu' for their EC2 images - or has the username driven by cloud metadata.

Either way, there's no reason to have it different for different clouds, thats more confusing for a user that is porting across-clouds - and more scripting/adaption work for them after they realise what's happening.

It should stay ec2-user for EC2 images, because then it matches other
distros and the existing EC2 documentation. fedora sounds reasonable to
me for all other cloud environments.
