The original implementation of the VMX config parser assumed that the virtualHW.version would have more influence on the content of the VMX file than it actually seems to have. It started with accepting only version 4. Additonal versions were added later without any additional changes in the parser itself. This suggests that the influence of the virtualHW.version on the content and format of the VMX file is small or non-existent. The parser worked without any changes across several virtualHW and vSphere versions. So instead of adding new virtualHW.version values to the parser as they come along, or adding an extra flag to allow unknown virtualHW.version values just relax the check to require version 4 or later.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
