so, a lot of input post my question for 3.4 planning on "what do you 
want next"[1]

processing going forward:


Infra

- support users/groups in oVirt DB as an authentication provider
- support keystone as an authentication provider
- kerberos login to webadmin/user portal
- stateless host (pxe boot, no local disks)
- detect updates and update host accordingly
- embedded pxe/tftp boot server, setup to deploy the nodes
- snmp & snmp trap monitoring

Virt
- template versions (ability to update template of a pool)
- pci passthrough for devices like Telephone modem, PCI-express cards,
   Graphic cards
- usbhost hook as supported feature (hardware license tokens)
- ability to provide libvirt features directly[2]
- dependencies between VMs (start db vm before webapp vm)
- Allow to clone a VM without snapshot/template
- Integrate v2v into engine
- oVirt guest agent for Ubuntu/openSUSE/SLES/Debian
