I would offer that just because you can't add disk space to a physical disk is no reason to not want to do that to a virtual disk. One of the beauties of virtual machines is that you can do things with them that you can't with a real machine. I can understand why it might not happen because of lack of demand for such a feature, developer time, funding and what not, but to say that you should just plan ahead is missing the point, in my opinion.
