Hi

GNOME Boxes upstream developers are aware importing / exporting is
super-useful and are working on it. You'll probably see it as a
feature in Fedora 22.

Regarding vagrant, I don't have any experience with that myself, but
if it's open source you could theoretically port that to libvirt.

Fedora 21 is just the start of Workstation, and I'm sure we'll work in
the future to improve those developer usecases of testing in VMs and
containers.
