   What people discovered was, they needed to run full-fat system management   
   suites, reporting tools, backup/maintenance tools etc on the hypervisor.   
   In other words, all the regular filesystem-management functions you need   
   on any server machine. So having it be a cut-down kernel (“type 1”)   
   didn’t   
   cut it any more -- virtualization is nowadays done on full-function Linux   
   kernels (all “type 2”).   
      
   That’s why the distinction is obsolete.
