Exactly. I was discussing here this morning and we will do that. Move

in one class so it confirms my intuition because with the other solution
the decomposition started to be ad-hoc what is VM support and what is 
Image was not clear.

Thanks for the feedback this is excatly the kind of remark I was 
looking for.
