I agree in principle. The reason this really is necessary for us
(Rackspace) is that we have tons of customers running tons and tons of
these virtual machines, and we can't (well, of course we /could/, but
that'd be horrible) go around and change people's virtual machines to
accomodate changes we want to make on the hypervisor side.

Fair enough. I really just wanted to share it in case someone else would
find it useful.
