There was a problem hiding this comment.
Looks mostly good, but has one bug (see below).
Also pkg/cidata/template_test.go has a hardcoded /home/foo.linux; maybe it should be updated to the new convention?
Fix issue 4577
Newly created instances now use `/home/${USER}.guest` as the home directory.
To maintain compatibility, `/home/${USER}.linux` is created as a symlink to `${USER}.guest`.
For existing instances, the symlink is created in the opposite direction.
