Yes, that was my reasoning. Also, the file is not really tied to hotspot 
per se -- if you were to plug in another VM, you'd still need this file. 
Combined with the fact that this was the file that was exported to the 
world. (Which doesn't *really* make any difference in this case, since 
the files were identical...)
