Sorry... pressed return too quick..
Understand me, please. My note was about Release Notes page
misleading in respect with features' set and newcomers... but also
frequent users too
At http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_3.5_Release_Notes#Live_Merge ones
reads:
" Live Merge If an image has one or more snapshots, oVirt 3.5's
merge command will combine the data of one volume into another.
Live merges can be performed with data is pulled from one snapshot
into another snapshot. The engine can merge multiple disks at the
same time and each merge can independently fail or succeed in each
operation. "
I think you have to mention that it is a restricted use case for
now... and specify that it works only for Fedora 20 and in that
case you have to manually modify the repo definition to install the
qemu packages from virt-preview to get the feature.
This still is not fixed!
I can already see the bugreports coming in, claiming live merge does
not work, because the release notes are very misleading!
Did nobody got the time to fix this?

I'm more than available to change it if my edit rights allow it.
But at the end I didn't see any clear answer from developers and/or infra
maintainers...
I think it is a crucial page, so I'd prefer one of them to do it or
explicitly answering here that we are right and we can go change it...

I'll add a disclaimer to the page.
