No-one seems to have had any opinions.   I'll take ...

... that as a proposal :-).  think that is probably the right tradeoff.

I think that means that means we need osstest patches to edit
make-flight and ts-xen-build which

 * Explictly enables stubdom qemu build
 * Drops the pv-grub tests

and those need to go in first.

With my RM hat on, I think those changes to osstest may need a release
ack since they have missed the LPD, but I will grant such an ack.

As for the patches themselves, I may get to that tomorrow, but
contributions would be very welcome.

Thanks,
Ian.
