I'm sorry but I don't understand this.

If you would decide to backport this to 3.4.4 you surely would make
the qemu-kvm-rhev package available in the 3.4.4 repository which
is needed to upgrade to 3.4.4 anyway?

So what would people prevent from using it?

but don't include it in 3.4.4 repo, just in 3.5 repo?

This doesn't make sense at all so I guess I'm missing a point here?

Please explain this a little bit more, so I can understand your
concern, thanks.
