Or not ;-)

Would it be possible (and doable) to migrate from oVirt to RHEV?

If we start out with oVirt, but after some time we decide that RHEV
would be a better fit after all, would it be possible to hook up
existing oVirt/VDSM hosts to a RHEV engine, or am I thinking way too
simple now?

Cheers,
Martijn.
