Because vnds are specifically configured for mounts; the only thing
they're useful for is mounting a fs image that lives in a regular
file.

It looks like we (still) don't have the ability to implicitly (or even
explicitly) configure a vnd when you try to mount a file, which Linux
has had for a long time. But we should really get that sometime.

It's really fundamentally different from things like raids that have
independent existence.
