Why is it just advice rather than a TCR to make sure that xVM boot doesn't break ? Advise can be ignored (not that I'm suggesing at all that the time would do that) and in this case that could cause breakage of another already integrated project. TCRs need to be very specific. I think in this case that is easy. xVM boot must work with a ZFS root. I wouldn't expect there to be any public interface changes to any of the xVM delivered install/boot commands for this to happen (given the "magic" is well hidden today). -- Darren J Moffat
