Well true; even the RMS Titanic, with its fifteen bulkheads, was no match against an iceberg. Let's just hope that this new hypervisor for OpenBSD is built with better-quality steel :)
Also, it's worth mentioning that EC2 instances are meant to be ephemeral; Amazon doesn't provide any semblance of a guarantee that your instances won't reboot, and assumes that you intend for all your "machines" to be arbitrarily rebootable. Not saying that any hypervisor implementation right now is particularly good; only that Amazon isn't exactly the best representation here.
