I'm not in favor of non kvm activities too. At least for this year.
oVirt needs the focus. In theory it can do it all - kvm, xen, 
containers, cloud, etc. But in practice it would be the best for us to 
focus of being as good as we can in a more narrow, realistic field. The 
current field is enterprise virtualization using kvm. IMHO that's the 
right one and there is plenty of work to do around it. Spreading around 
will slow down the main effort (even if others do the work).

Potentially in a year time we may re-evaluate things.
