Along the lines of what Roger has said - without knowing _why_ you want to do that, it's hard to tell. It's pretty clear I think that we don't want to outright drop the condition, the question is just whether to somewhat relax it for your purposes. I'm afraid I also don't agree with your assertion that a down vCPU is in "after reset" state: To me, such a vCPU could legitimately be considered to be in that state, in the state it was in when it went down, or in basically any other (perhaps random) state. Finally (and I'm sorry for being picky here) - why was this inquiry addressed _To_ me instead of the list?
