While we're thinking about Fedora, I just filed:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=886705

as a request to get qemu-guest-agent installed by default into live
images.  Although it's a long shot, I even gave rationale for why it
might violate blocker requirements (but it might still be accepted as a
nice-to-have improvement even though we are past beta).

Also, I found it rather inconvenient to get guest agent support enabled
into my guest; I ended up manually using 'virsh edit' to add:

    <channel type='unix'>
      <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/GUEST.agent'/>
      <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/>
    </channel>

with GUEST made appropriately unique per guest, and think it would be
nice if virt-manager could make guest-agent support easier to turn on
with a single checkbox.
