oVirt 3.1 targeted release platform

[Ofer Schreiber]

As discussed today in oVirt sync meeting (http://ovirt.org/meetings/ovirt/2012/ovirt.2012-04-04-15.01.log.html), upstream VDSM doesn't work anymore on Fedora 16 due to a missing libvirt dependency.

This issue raises an important question - which platform we're trying to target?
Since oVirt is a (very) layered product, I think we can't avoid setting a target platform for every oVirt release, and keep all the different components aligned with it.

Getting back to the next release- I'm suggesting Fedora 17 as our common platform.
According to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/17/Schedule, Fedora 17 release date is the 15th of May, which align with the schedule for oVirt 3.1 (www.ovirt.org/wiki/Second_Release).
