Can you think of a condition where `self.phone_server` would not
evaluate to True?  `network.find_free_port()` could return None, so this
check was valid.  But now with `cloudinit.PhoneHomeServer`, I can not
see how we'd end up with a similar condition.  Instantiating
`cloudinit.PhoneHomeServer` where a port can not be alloccated, AFAICT,
would raise a socket exception instead.

Also, the name of the utility class is PhoneHomeServer.  Using a
different name in the message will make cross references into the
Avocado docs harder.

Finally, a nitpick: I'd drop the leading dot in such a test cancelation
message.

Other than those points, the direction of those changes are indeed a
great improvement.

Thanks,
