Perhaps. But remember that "Shut down" and "Shutting down" actually
have the same icon. If the status column gets ditched, the icons need
to be more clear first, in my opinion.
Definitely. The icons need to be clear.

We do. It´s really good information to have when you use a
centralized updating system like forcing updates and reboots through
puppet or WSUS. If you see that every VM has been rebooted after there
should have been updates except one, you know that VM probably is in
some kind of trouble.
I understand your need, but would rather choose a monitoring
solution to do the verify task. Especially when using a centralized
updating system I would try hard to avoid this manual verification
step. But I guess this is another story :-)
