While proper resizing filesystem first is tricky and not planned to be supported anytime soon, there are still cases where shrinking volume can be useful. For example installing/reinstalling template with root volume smaller than default one. This is especially the case for unikernel based systems.

qvm-volume: refuse to shrink volume unless --force option is used 
Right now Admin API backend will refuse to shrink volume anyway, but
we're planning to relax this restriction. Make sure the client side
(qvm-volume tool here, GUI VM settings already have this in place) will
employ appropriate safety check.
