I might add that it is good practice for the image to avoid unnecessary
assumptions about the VM. The image may want to run on a variety of VMs
implemented in different languages, running on different platforms, and
featuring different bugs.

But of course the VMs should all be perfect, bug free, and 100% consistent ;-)
