I understand the difference and I'm not proposing we set that for all
machines, however we already explicitly prevent all qemu machines booted
via our scripts from restarting - so I think in this case the alias
makes sense.
Having said that it was just a suggestion, I'll not lose sleep if folks
don't like the idea.
