Isn't that the concept behind "attack surface"?  If the code is there, 
something malicious might have the ability to call it.  I think there was 
malware that was recently discovered that could exploit the floppy disk 
controller in either VMware or VirtualBox.

The bigger practical concern is that PlayOnLinux expanded my template by 800 
MB.  Is all of that cruft duplicated on the hard drive for every VM, or is it 
just accessed from the template as needed when the VM is activated?
