For their virtual instances, they had some issues when upgrading virt-who: * There is no virt-who upgrade information. * How does virt-who handle passwords with special characters during upgrade? * If hypervisor UUIDs are converted to hostnames, Satellite treats them as new hypervisors and it requires that any subscriptions be reassigned and old entries to be deleted manually. --> Is changing from a UUID to a hostname/FQDN as the identifier even supported?

Assigning to Russell for review. Russell - the Virtual Instances Guide since gained a note about changing from UUID to host name, and as per our conversation on IRC, it looks like the main work now is to call out that virt-who is an RPM upgrade that doesn't really require any special steps in the Upgrade Guide.
