Join forces with go-vhd?

[colemickens]

This project exists: https://github.com/rubiojr/go-vhd

It provides some functionality not available in azure-vhd-utils, but one can imagine many cases where they need one tool to create the VHD and then this, azure-vhd-utils to upload the image.

It might make sense to try to join forces? Especially since MS probably has the internal knowledge to remove the "highly experimental" caveat of go-vhd.

Making an empty vhd is a very desirable feature!

Although it is possible to create a vhd offline and upload it, it is a waste of upload bandwidth to make an empty vhd.
