Hi,<br>
<br>
The point of "Node" is that it should be like an appliance. You
should not care what is "under the covers". You just use it as a
back-end appliance that talks to oVirt. So it should not matter what
version of OS it runs, right?<br>
<br>
If you start doing things that are particular to the OS, two major
disadvantages come to mind:<br>
1. You will start "bloating" the system by adding new dependencies.
This dilutes the value of a minimal node that minimizes management
requirements<br>
2. You will diverge from what's been tested by the oVirt QA team.
This increases the risk of your deployment.<br>
<br>
Since Node is supposed to be an appliance, I would prefer that the
oVirt team focus their energies on making it as small and robust as
possible, rather than putting their energy into multiple OS versions
of Node.<br>
