Hi Duncan,
personally I see this as a good change :-) In a public cloud we sometimes set strict IO limits to prevent noisy neighbor situations and then run into trouble with storage vMotion. One has to always check the limits before starting such operation.
What I find really annoying is that if you forget to raise the limit before svMotion starts, you simply have to wait for it to finish with your VM IO performance severely deteriorated.
Cheers, Pavel
