Suggestions:

A Fedora release must be able host virtual guest instances of the same 
Fedora release.

I think the last part of the original sentence is redundant.

However, I'd prefer:

A Fedora release must be able host virtual guest instances of the same 
Fedora release as well as all previous Fedora releases.


"Current preferred virtualization technology:"

Is too ambiguous, lets call a spade a space and state KVM if that 
statement is required.
