As a counterpoint to no proxmox, I get a lot of utility in being able to entirely destroy and reprovision VMs. I get it adds a layer of complexity, but it's not without its merits!
On one hand, the Duras Sisters disprove your point. Then again, "You have manipulated the circumstances with the skill of a Romulan." Yeeeeaaaahhh... Point taken.
