The question applies mostly to Sandro. Personally, I think we can safely
skip Engine support for f21. Vdsm support for f21 is important (it's
actually the ONLY supported Fedora version for the master branch, as
much that master is "supported".)

As far as I recall, we support this combination for a long long time (as
long as f* and e* hosts are kept on separate clusters), and I don't see
the benefit of dropping this support. It can come up useful for
conservative users, running el6, but wanting to test new stuff on
el7/f29 hypervisors.
