I have similar question on the fixed-ram work, on whether we should assume the vm stopped before doing so. Again, it leaves us space for optimizations on top without breaking anyone. The other thing is considering a very busy guest, migration may not even converge for "file:" URI (the same to other URIs) but I think that doesn't make much sense to not converge for a "file:" URI. The user might be very confused too. -- Peter Xu
