I think it had to do with wanting to be absolutely certain which VM they
were playing with, as each has it's own VLAN but sharing an OSA. I'm trying
to argue the point that it should be the same device addressing because
then you can take a copy of a guest that is having issues, dumpt it into
your test VM and dig into it with no consequence. To do that, the
configurations need to be the same.
We're coming up on I think 9 months of VM experience in this shop, so I
give eveyone involved a fairly wide margin for 'learning'.

With logic like that, I'd hate to see him write code.
