I find this overly > complex and confusing. I think that until now (centos6) we were using qemu-kvm/qemu-img in the spec file and then the ovirt repository was distributing qemu-*-rhev from: http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-3.4-snapshot/rpm/el6/x86_64/ It this not possible with centos7? Any problem with that?

I find being in fedora a way to keep the spec file and the rpm updated and as clean as possible.
