[Users] el7 based node? el7 as a supported platform for ovirt?

Hi.
There's been a bit of chatter about what is required for Fedora 20 support for ovirt.
I can't seem to find newer fedora19 based node isos anymore.  Has there been a conscious decision to standardize on the el6 based node iso?
Is an F20 based node iso something that is being worked on?

I hear that el7 might be announced this month.  Presumably Centos 7.0 won't be far away after that.
I've done some test installs of RHEL 7 beta to get a look at what packages are in use.
Of particular interest to me is the qemu-kvm package - the version of which seem to be important for live snapshots and live migrations (something we don't seem to do well right now).
EL beta7 has this version - qemu-kvm-1.5.3-19.el7.x86_64.rpm

Given the issues with needing newer versions of certain packages than what is in EL 6.5, is this situation likely to be improved greatly when Centos 7 is available?
I don't recall seeing much discussion about ovirt running under el7.  Is this being looked at at this stage, or given the fact there is only a beta of rhel7  to work with right now are we just waiting for the release before deciding too much?

Thanks.
