I think it is too soon to move to the Jboss packaged for Fedora17.
It was just packaged and I am not aware of any developer actually
working with oVirt on the Jboss packaged for Fedora (except for one).
I expect to at least have the developers working with this Jboss for a
while before releasing on it.

Can anyone provide info on how different is Jboss for Fedora than the
current upstream Jboss we use?
