I guess you might make us your guinea pigs on this, as these
services are not mission critical to us.

I've been experimenting a little with KVM in F10 and Intrepid, and
I've also found it fell short from being ready for production.
More than anything else, libvirtd and virt-maanger seem way too
immature.  For example, there's an option to freeze a vm to disk,
but there seems to be no way to restore it afterward ;-)
