In this respect, i think, best would be to incorporate Spoon features to VM.
As i understand (Craig, correct me if i'm wrong), a Spoon VM changes
are incremental and not breaking any compatibility.
So, it would be only better to have this technology at hands, which
will enable to make small or even tiny images without much efforts.
