Not to mention, at least for all the instances I run, a remote
serial console already provides 100% of the features I need to
perform OOB diagnostics in case I screw up boot options, guest
networking, sshd, whatever:
https://docs.openstack.org/nova/queens/admin/remote-console-access.html#serial-console
I can imagine for some deployments, none of the users might
want/need a graphical OOB console for their instances at all so
wouldn't want to incur the overhead (especially securing it, as
Jonathan so notes.)
