[ovirt-users] I wrote an oVirt thing

[Chris Cowley]

While I really like both ideas it is not a route I would PERSONALLY 
take.

To me it seems logical that there should be parallels between oVirt and 
Openstack. After all, oVirt already integrates with Glance, Cinder and 
Neutron. Thus it is not unreasonable to suggest that any sort of CLI 
should take its inspiration from the Openstack CLI tools.

Also, I am not sure that would scratch my personal itch - which even in 
its unbelievably primitive state, my tool does.

Of course, this is FLOSS, so knock yourself out - the more the merrier.
