No what I meant is that
if the VM is a server {
not having a console connection to it does not mean that it is not used.
}
Therefore desktops on the same host with no console connection, they may be better
candidates for migration. You can connect to servers.
I'd actually like to lose the distinction between server and desktop
other than a set of optimizations.
i.e., if there is an optimization you want to make based on console
being connected, model that and ask for that specifically (maybe I use
desktop differently than you think)
