A currently undocumented awesome feature of Rambo, is that here, you can rename this grain as vagrant, and that will cause everything to be installed as the vagrant user. This implies that you can spin up a machine, and have all the useful things installed with a user that has sudo privileges, instead of being deescalated, if that's what you want. This also allows you to do a simple vagrant ssh with no need for an alias.

I also suggest that we make vagrant be the default username. This allows people to do a real vagrant ssh with no alias to get in correctly.

So to sum, we need to:

1. rename deescalated_user everywhere to something more general (careful though, user may be a protected word by Salt - not sure off hand)
2. set default value for that key to vagrant
3. Revise docs to explain all of this.
