I completely agree with you.  The --force flag would be one way around
this.  We could also add it to the xend configuration as an adjustable
limit.  Another option might be to have the limit determined by the
builder that is used, right?

  switch (type) {
    case linux:  limit = 24;
    case fatos:  limit = 128;
    default:     limit = 0;
}
    
Something like that?  I'm not sure off hand if this info is available
after build time for protecting mem-set, but we could make the limit a
property of the domain to solve that easily.
