kvm and qemu merge feature for f11

[Dale Bewley]

This feature is not officially accepted,
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/KVM_and_QEMU_merge
but koji makes that seem to be a moot point.

$ koji latest-pkg dist-rawhide kvm

$ koji latest-pkg dist-rawhide qemu
qemu-0.10-0.9.kvm20090310git.fc11         f11-beta              glommer

The most recent kvm build 84.3
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=92557
says "don't do anything here and use qemu package."

F11-alpha includes a kvm package. Is it likely for this merge to stick
through the beta if not the final release? Or is this a temporary state
that will reverted at some point?

Just wondering if I should put it back in the release notes.

It's here to stay. I'm not sure why the feature page stalled.

We should mark the page as 100% complete, change the category to
FeatureReadyForWrangler and ask FESCo to approve it as an exception.

Cheers,
Mark.

Regardless of FESCO "approval", the feature is complete - F11 will ship 
with a unified qemu+kvm rpm, just called 'qemu'.

Yes, sounds reasonable
