Correctness of time is a real problem despite the believe of virt folks that it can be ignored or duct taped to death.
I’m fine with this as long as it’s intentional. If we say “guest timekeeping across host suspend is correct because we notify the guest”, then we have a hole. But if we say “the host will try to notify the guest, and if the guest is out to lunch then the host reserves the right to suspend without waiting, and the guest should deal with this”, then okay.
Yes of course this would be intentional and documented behaviour, which is an infinite improvement over the current situation.
