I think it is a nice idea.
A way I see such an integration happening is by being able to export a
VM in oVirt into an ova file (OVF and the images) and then being able to
import this file into Kimchi, and of course the other way around.

An interesting point to note here is that oVirt and Kimchi should be
aligned on the OVF format they use (OVF is supposedly standard but
de-facto it is not exactly so).

I could see myself using the above functionality :)
