One point against using libvirt to start came from DV in the Infra
meeting the other day - Daniel Veillard is a libvirt maintainer, so we
can trust his point. He figured there would be some complications
involved in converting VMs from libvirt to oVirt if we didn't set things
up most efficiently from the start.

So it sounds as if we can work around that potential issue, but it's
going to be more work in the end to start with libvirt and move to oVirt.

If we want an end-state of oVirt, maybe we need to go there first.
Perhaps scheduling some time for people-who-know-already to be present
for the oVirt Infra team when we do the work? Can we schedule some
sprints together?
