Hm.. It seems this may not be necessary even as soon as 13.10 (kernel 3.11).

The vmw_vmci driver is in the Saucy (3.11) kernel tree and is configured as a kernel module.
I have heard rumor that "vmblock and vmxnet are going to be carried in the kernel for 13.10".
If we have disk and network drivers, and 'vmw_vmci', what do we get out of open-vm-tools ? Are those things necessary?
