Then I wonder why we have the compat6 option for VMDK. I would be rather
surprised if it was useful for qemu itself.
FWIW, I know that SUSE had a use for these SCSI VMDKs and they carry a
local patch for it. I would prefer to have such things upstream, even if
it's just for exporting. After all, qemu-img is the Swiss army knife for
images.
