No. Virtual albums and Physical album concept become a long reflexion
between developpers and users.

Image are stored on HDD. This is the reallity. Some users like to know where
images are stored on the disk.

Virtual albums help user to class/sort images coming from different physical
albums.

If you want to have all album virtual, well use only virtual folders... (or
use Kphotoalbum... But personally i hate to have all pictures without to
know where i can find it really)

Unforget that it's your personal viewpoint and not a general vision witch
can be applied to all photograph.
