Yup, that's another good reason for the migration.

Well, when I eventually die I suppose someone else will have to take
ownership of it ;-)

But if it's just a VM image, it can be migrated elsewhere pretty
easily.

I mean, if you have more than one VM, they need to share data somehow.
With one VM it's all on one filesystem and one OS, which simplifies a
lot of the problems.

At the moment, it's all one host, except for launchpad, which we found
to be a nightmare to interact with reliably.
