I've a bit of a quibble with the description. Mostly because cloud-init has _no_ control over how DNS or DHCP servers react to dhcp client requests coming from an instance.

What we (cloud-init) can do is set instance specified hostnames as _soon_ as we know it, which may be of help to some situations where Dynamic DNS via dhcp client hostname value.

This is an environment specific issue and having cloud-init set hostname as soon as possible does not ensure that there won't be issues with DNS, DHCP outside of cloud-init control.

Some inline comments too.
