Sure, if you think so.
Juergen, something like:
* The fsimage library used by pygrub, which does not have a stable
ABI, and the corresponding python module, have been renamed to
`xenfsimage' (to reduce namespace pollution). Any out-of-tree
users of this library will have to be updated.
Thanks,
Ian.
