Just that it's something the user shouldn't need to care about.  A 
live-migration is not a user initiated event, though I suppose it could 
be in some deployments, and the end result is that the instance is 
running on another host with no other appreciable change.

There are many reasons a deployer may want to live-migrate instances 
around: capacity planning, security patching, noisy neighbors, host 
maintenance, etc... and I just don't think the user needs to know or 
care that it has taken place.

I'm not against exposing it, but I do think that some operators will 
want the option to live-migrate without informing their users.
