-*   **Guest OS Customization updated to use "systemctl reboot".**
+*   **During Linux guest customization, open-vm-tools may reboot the VM without waiting for cloud-init execution to complete if cloud-init encounters a recoverable error**
 
-    Currently the "telinit 6" command is used to reboot a Linux VM following Guest OS Customization.  As the classic Linux init system, SysVinit, is deprecated in favor of a newer init system, systemd, the telinit command may not be available on the base Linux OS.
+    [Issue #768](https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/issues/768) Make GetCloudinitStatus() more robust 
 
-    This change adds support to Guest OS Customization for the systemd init system.  If the modern init system, systemd, is available, then a "systemctl reboot" command will be used to trigger reboot.  Otherwise, the "telinit 6" command will be used assuming the traditional init system, SysVinit, is still available.
+    Starting with cloud-init version 23.4, an error code was introduced to signal a recoverable error. open-vm-tools interprets this error code as a cloud-init execution failure, so continues executing guest customization with a VM reboot in the end. 
 
+    This issue is resolved in this release. During Linux guest customization, open-vm-tools now correctly waits for cloud-init execution to complete, even when cloud-init encounters recoverable errors.
