When wiping a volume we just rewrite all the data of the volume, not only the content. Since format gets overridden, we need to recreate the volume. However we can't do that for every possible format out there. Since it was only coded for the ploop volume type, let's document what might be the consequences instead of forbidding it for every other format out there.

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.
