Awesome news, thanks! Two follow-up questions about that

1) ovirt-engine flashes up a screen saying that it can´t do snapshot because the guest is active. If/when qemu gets updated, will the engine automatically stop complaining and snapshot live, or will the engine require update as well?

2) Do you think qemu-1.1 is going to be available for F17, like ever? Like through backporting, MFC, whatnot? Hacking/rebuilding rpm´s is something only RH employees should be engaged in, purely for testing. I have enough troubles getting out of bed as it is, haha:)
