Should wait for execCmd (it should use the new terminating() context manager
to ensure process is killed on errors).

I will not have time for this at least after devconf, and even after
devconf we are
busy with spm removal (probably not for 4.0) and ovirt-image (for 4.0).

I will add this to the storage todo list for now.

v2v need to read only from stdout. If v2v is not expected to write
more then 64k
errors to stderr (highly unlikely), we don't need to use AsyncProc.
Can create the
process like we do in qemuimg.py, and read from the process stdout.

If we want to handle the unlikely case of huge error output, we can
use CommandStream
to collect the output from both streams, but we will have to the
change the output
parser to be driven by output callback, instead of reading lines from stdout.

I think we should continue with other Python 3 porting efforts until
we can eliminate
cpopen non-standard apis.

I think the current patch does not need too much work - only implement wait
with a timeout.

What about the subproces32 project you found? it looks like the right
direction:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/subprocess32/ 

The author is Python core developer:
https://github.com/python/cpython/commits?author=gpshead

We can drop cpopen, AsyncProc, AsyncProcOperation (used only in iscsi), and
use this module to get Python 3 features and reliability, and be compatible with
both Python 3 (fedora 24?) and 2 (el 7.x).
