[lxc-devel] lxd move specification

Hi all,

I have a couple questions about exactly how `lxd move` [1] would be
implemented.

First, is the --stateful argument necessary? Can we just drop it and
make it implied if the container is running?

Second, are we sure we want to support changing the hostname of a
running container (lxc move c1 c2)? That seems to me to look inside
the container a bit too much (plus it has the added complication of
changing the hostname of a container when applications might not be
expecting it).
