When "Guest Customization" fails due to a guest os change, we will work
with guest os team to see how to resolve it. The fix could be either on
vSphere side or on guest os side. Such failure can be caught before
guest os release since we always test new guest os daily/beta build
before it's released. If the fix is on vSphere side, customer will have
to wait for the next vSphere release which contains the fix and upgrade
to it. If the fix is on guest side(at least in guest os GA build), then
customer need NOT upgrade vSphere to get the fix.
