The page http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F7ReleaseSummary mentions 
VMware's VMI. "This release includes the 2.6.21 based kernel which 
integrates Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) technology with Fedora's 
graphical virt-manager and command-line virsh tools. KVM provides a 
hardware accelerated virtualization solution, and users have a choice 
between KVM and Xen, along with Qemu, in this release. The kernel 
included in this release also has support for VMWare's VMI interface."

I do not find any other mention of VMI on the Wiki or in the release notes.
