setup for our rack, and about the only thing that still needs sudo on the
host rather than group membership is installing a Linux guest.  It'd feel
tidier to get rid of that as well, as I'm never *entirely* certain about
the attack surface of virt-tools.

Does anyone have a feel for how difficult this is likely to be, and whether
it's sensible for a newcomer to the codebase to try?
