I don't know that it will be, but as it supports encryption and 
compression and benchmarks shows it performs at least as well as ext4, I 
don't see why it couldn't be a good choice for virtual machines. It 
seems at least as useful in a cloud deployment as minix and hpfs which 
are included in this flavour.
