Agreed on all points. > > Why do we ever read a filesystem touched by a guest in the host? I believe this is more of reading filesystems that were uploaded by users into glance. However, it is essentially the same thing. I don't think we need to do this and don't think we should do this. Clearly, however, someone somewhere, at some point, thought they wanted this.
