Sure, if you think so.

Juergen, something like:

 * The fsimage library used by pygrub, which does not have a stable
   ABI, and the corresponding python module, have been renamed to
   `xenfsimage' (to reduce namespace pollution).  Any out-of-tree
   users of this library will have to be updated.

Thanks,
Ian.
