1. we currently provide the qemu-kvm-rhev package via an ovirt jenkins
    build, while we work with CentOS virt/cloud SIGs to try and resolve
    this within CentOS.

2. Yes, we are looking at .el7 support. I'm hoping/assuming a community
    edition will be available around 3.5 GA to consider it.

3. I think Fabian replied in the past they moved ovirt-node to be .el6
    based, rather than fedora based to reduce the churn.
