This will raise NotImplementedError on the first try to call any
AdminAPI method - like getting property. Better create DummyQubes class,
being subclass of QubesBase (see qubesadmin/app.py), and put empty
qubesd_call method there. Then use that instead of None for QubesVM
constructor. Something like this:
class DummyQubes(qubesadmin.app.QubesBase):
def qubesd_call(self, *args, **kwargs):
pass
dummy_app = DummyQubes()
dummyvm = qubesadmin.vm.QubesVM(dummy_app, "dummy1")

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
