Sure, but in many cases the client is also the provider.  Consider
running kvm on a laptop (which I and many others do for work...) - you'd
really like the disk space back you're not using, rather than each VM
taking 10-20G it doesn't need.  I end up having to edit every VM
configuration in two places after each install/provision in order to get
that behavior - that's not reasonable.
