[Xen-users] Re: usage of the extra parameter in vm configs

Indeed.
And if you have to ask the value of one part of a command line, users
can find the answer more easily if they're not familiar with the
possibilities. It even makes comparing setups easier, tools like "diff"
will isolate only what you have changed.
Being unambiguous reassures timid users.
Also true...
I do wonder if the correct fix in the longer term would be to deal only
in "cmdline" internally but to add a "user friendliness" layer on the top
which will take individual parameters and use them to build the correct sort
of command line for the particular guest you're running... Either a "wizard"
of some sort, or something in the tools.
A good idea. I would think it *might* hide some grotty details,
particularly if something changes.
In the meantime, I don't know... We should document the use of the extra=
parameter a bit better. Maybe we could also introduce a new "cmdline"
variable so that folks don't get confused between the two styles of setting
up a VM...
More documentation is almost always a good idea.
