NACK, it offers nothing of benefit over the existing virtual networking
which already provides a NAT based isolated network. Usermode networking
is a crude hack which is frankly utter rubbish - the only option you
have if you're an unprivileged user, but no privleged user should be
using it. Usermode networking is also not 64-bit cleanup & will often
corrupt / drop traffic. Just say no if you're privileged.
