That last paragraph could be remove I think. It is mostly prose which
doesn't add much information. Some people may understand the reference.

When writing that last paragraph, I had that in mind:
https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2019-11/msg01410.html

I though that was amusing, the way the comment was left behind and
started to be understood as a comment for something else.
