Hi Deepa,
I think you may not need to consider too much VMM live update here (although it
would be good to consider possible future features), after all it is an on-going effort,
we are still not quite sure what exact modifications it needs. The VMM live update
itself will figure out what is the best way to modify the code.
Thanks,
Jason
