I haven't seen much discussion around testing the complete stack as a
whole.  I'm wondering if the all-in-one build makes a good platform to
build stack testing against?

I don't really enjoying fixing up jboss or selinux or various other
tweaks on test day when installing from scratch (though that does find
some bugs), so all-in-one seems like a good sanity check.

>From there, building/writing some tests using either engine-cli, or
the ovirt-sdk python bindings seems like a good way to exercise the
function of the release.

With the nested mode supported, would it be possible to have a jenkins
job run a test that booted the all-in-one iso and ran some tests against
that?
