Tomáš Golembiovský commented on OVIRT-1748:
-------------------------------------------

bq. Maybe you can convince the upstreams to include the agent in their images. But frankly, I think the agent's existence is a bug and not a feature, given that qemu-guest-agent exists and is pre-installed in most images.

At this moment qemu-guest-agent is barely usable. We are slowly working on improving it and integrating it with oVirt. But it's slow process and it will take some time before we can replace ovirt-guest-agent.

I have no objections to including it. My only concern would be if and how will we handle updates of old images when ovirt-guest-agent is updated. I assume we will not, we use what's available at installation time and that's it.

> ovirt-guest-agent is an important part of the ovirt experience. So is glance.ovirt.org.
> By shipping images pre-installed with our guest agent, we would provide a better product for our users. Also, doing so would make it simpler to add tests the verify the state of the guest (e.g how many interfaces does it have, and what are its IP addresses).
