Nothing architectural that I can think of, we just don't support it.
Rebuild current takes an image, but I guess it could reasonable take most
of the arguments to spawn. We'd have to think hard about what it meant for
arguments to be present/omitted, i.e. are we specifying new disks, or
redefining old ones, but if the intent could be represented in the api it
could certainly be implemented.
