That doesn't make any sense.  Its non-determinable, its non-determinable
when cloud-init runs as well as later on.
When cloud-init ran to decide if there was a response to this call, it may
give a single value, or may give 4 values, or may give no response.  That
may change later on when some other utility was asking.
