I don't get it... 1) OpenStack juju charms by default have VNC/SPICE unconfigured 2) There was no such issue in Debian 8 cloud images. Not to mention Ubuntu and CentOS 3) Why do we want to have an image that sometimes does not work - it took me a while to figure out why Debian 9 is the only image that does not boot in our private cloud 4) Any serious reasons to be different on this matter to other major Linux distributions?
