This somehow is against the principle of "isolation" between the
AppVM... But I can understand that, from a developer point of view, this
may be helpful - if, for example, you develop web-apps and assign a
web-app per AppVM to host.

Yet, Qubes OS is designed for workstations, and it may be argued that
developer workstations may host the services they are developing. I
think, IMHO, that this is wrong, and may lead to unnecessary complexity
in dealing with the subtleties of the application working on the
developer's workstation but not in production. I would recommend to test
them on the work AppVM, and then complete testing in a staging environment.

I myself built a low-cost staging machine, with proxmox and several VMs
with a centos template: my production machines are typical VPSs with
centos, so the differences between staging and production are minimal.

Beyond the developer point of view, do you think there would be other
examples that would benefit from having Qubes AppVMs mutually visible?
(thus needing an auto-registering name resolution system?)
