For better system anonymity (to decouple VM OS timestamps leaked in

unpredictably from the host's and confuse  correlation by network
adversaries.

Full Disclosure: I am from the  Tor centric Whonix Project - whonix.org
and this would be a very useful feature for us.


Interesting idea.  Should this be automated, I would expect this to be
done above libvirt, using libvirt's APIs.  Particularly virDomainSetTime
[1] could be of use.  There's a virsh command for that as well, called
domtime that can be called from a script.
