OVH Arch Linux VPS image is annoying.
They installed and enabled dhcpcd but also have the systemd-networkd DHCP client enabled too. They race with each other and sometimes end up causing a 2 minute delay at boot.
It also has the obsolete haveged service installed + enabled too.

There's also a broken /etc/locale.gen by default but I'm not entirely sure if that's their fault. Maybe this will help someone else:

I should probably just roll my own images since I apply a standard set of changes beyond this regardless of the use case.

Modern Linux kernel has a proper CSPRNG and has dropped all of the cargo cult entropy exhaustion nonsense. /dev/random and getrandom(...) only block until the CSPRNG is initialized in early boot and never again. Rather than blocking indefinitely, the kernel also now fixes it.
