I'm a bit surprised that this is up for vote, since there seemed to be a bit of discussion on the virtualization list about this approach, and it did not yet seem everybody liked this (although discussion seems to have wound down). I'm not familiar with this topic, and don't oppose this change, but should we wait until all of the involved devs are happy with the general design? Or is the current state good enough?
