I take it you've not heard of the phrase "defensive depth".

  Shouldn't that be "defense in depth"?

  The difference here is, you might feel safer but you are still in the exact same position as before, a bug in your hypervisor/Meta-OS screws you. I'd argue that is a harmful comfort.

    The idea is that hypervisor is significantly smaller than the OS/kernel, so there will be less bugs. Not that they never happen, Xen had one recently.
