+Subject: [PATCH] fix: Always use single datasource if specified (#5098)
+
+RH-Author: Ani Sinha <anisinha@redhat.com>
+RH-MergeRequest: 135: fix: Always use single datasource if specified (#5098)
+RH-Jira: RHEL-36701
+RH-Acked-by: Emanuele Giuseppe Esposito <eesposit@redhat.com>
+RH-Acked-by: Cathy Avery <cavery@redhat.com>
+RH-Commit: [1/1] 491f053f7d758f1a0ca8918d1449cc2f7838291f
+
+This change may require a user to add `None` to the `datasource_list`
+defined in `/etc/cloud/cloud.cfg[.d]` if they have a customized
+datasource_list and want the DataSourceNone fallback behavior.
+
+ds-identify would automatically append "None" to the datasource_list
+if a single entry was provided in /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg[.d].
+This wasn't a problem in the past as the python code would detect
+a single datasource along with None as an indication to automatically
+use that datasource. Since the python code no longer does that,
+we should ensure that one specified datasource results in one specified
+datasource after ds-identify has run.
+
+Fixes GH-5091
+
+(cherry picked from commit cdbbd17ae400e432d13f674c18a6f5c873fa328b)
