Reading data of course has value but then NETCONF has this little
'CONF' in its name...

Anyway, if the peer mount is designed as a read-only access mechanism,
how are the VMs then configured? I suppose there then needs to be a
different addressing mechanism to access the VM's configuration data,
e.g., something Andy was hinting at. Or how does this work?
