The Hypervisor installation describes what cloud-setup-agent is actually doing, but this way administrators know what the tool is doing. We could remove all these things from cloud-setup-agent and require system administrators to perform these steps them selfs, this way we don't break anything on their systems. It would make setting up Hypervisors a bit harder, but would be much better on the longer run.
