Hi,

nova.virt.libvirt.storage.lvm.clear_volume() has a comment that we could
use shred to zero out volumes efficiently if we could assume that shred
8.22 was in all our downstream distros [1]. shred 8.22 shipped in 2013 [2].

Can we assume that thing now? xenial appears to ship with 8.25 for example.
If so, we could drop a reasonably complicated caller of dd, and it would
make moving to privsep a tiny bit easier.

Thanks,
Michael
