Andy Kurth reopened VCL-988:
----------------------------

The change committed in 
[r1759025|https://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1759025] broke 
the ability to delete KVM VMs and pretty much rendered libvirt/KVM provisioning 
useless.

Changing the VM naming convention is a significant change since the code parses 
existing VM/domain names to determine which can be *safely* deleted.

Even when the code is fixed to properly delete VMs with a different naming 
convention, thought has to be put into how the change will be handled when 
upgrading the VCL code when existing KVM hosts contain VMs using the old names. 
 Every place which requires exact VM names needs to handle both the old and new 
names.
