It came with F20. I'm on F20 and don't think many other people are. Is it a regression?

greg at dauntless:~$ yum list installed virt-viewer

greg at dauntless:~$ sudo yum install virt-viewer

Package virt-viewer-0.5.7-2.fc20.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

I don't see RPMs anywhere for 0.6, and compiling it didn't work for me. (configure: error: At least one of spice or vnc must be used)
