> `vt-bootstrap`, but for a convenience they were actually updated on each
> avocado-vt loader invocation. This PR:

> is fixing the behavior, but before merging it I'd like to confirm with
> you that your systems are prepared for this change. Basically for
> production environemnt there should be no changes as tests are deployed
> and bootstrap executed once. This change should only affect test
> developers, who frequently modify the subtests.cfg and occasionally even
> the guest-os.cfg files. Those need to add `avocado vt-bootstrap` to
> their workflow (I'd recommend adding --vt-guest-os followed by
> non-asset-managed os variant to avoid JeOS decompression).

> Please take a look at your systems and let me know should this
> modification cause significant troubles.
