By now, using sd devices does not even seems to always work. Shouldn't it be te case for us to deprecate it's usage? I got a simple patch that does it in case it's of interest, but some questions still remains, like: Is leaving the message enough, or can we do better, by making sure a xvd is used, even if it was not requested?
