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.
