I vote for separate oVirt gerrit project.
Do we expect anyone outside Vdsm to make use of it soon?
If so, go ahead!
If not, this would excert release-engineering costs, with no clear
benefits. Someone would have to tag a build, and push it to
Fedora/debian.
cpopen and ioprocess are written in C and as such are less
fitting to be inside Vdsm.
