Oh, but it does.
System administrators can use steal time the same way they
use iowait time: to spot bottlenecks on their systems.
If you have a lot of iowait time, you know you want either
faster IO or more memory.
If you have a lot of steal time, you know you need to spread
your virtual machines over more CPUs.
Steal time allows you to see the difference between a busy
system and an overloaded system.

Politics is the struggle between those who want to make their country
the best in the world, and those who believe it already is. Each group
calls the other unpatriotic.
