Thanks for pointing me at that one - someone has indeed pointed out that vms need secrets - I would have thought that a vm is just a special type of virtual device and whilst other things could benefit from secrets - racks/tenants etc - with vms it is an obvious omission.

FWIW secrets were introduced in NetBox before virtual machines, hence the disconnect.
