+     This change will cause the interface names to change on any new VMs
+     launched with images that do not specify a hw_machine_type already.
+     Existing VMs will not be affected, but a rebuild will have the names
+     changed. Customers should be informed of this in case they have any
+     tooling that relies on interface names within their VMs.
