Fedora 16
 It is time to start planning for the Fedora 16 release.  What features are
 going to be proposed?  What does the community want to see from Fedora 16
 virtualiation?

 == Updates Needing review ==
  The following packages are in updates-testing and need review and karma as
  appropriate:

  F14:
  - libguestfs-1.8.7-1.fc14
    New stable version 1.8.7 with several small bugfixes.

  F15:
  There are no virt packages in updates-testing at this time.

  == Virt Preview Repository ==
  The virt-preview repository is now active for F14 users wishing to run the
  latest F15 virt packages on their stable F14 systems.  F13 virt-preview users
  will still get the latest F14 packages.  For details on how to run enable
  virt-preview, please see:
  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Virtualization_Preview_Repository

  == Bugs of importance: ==
  - 700560 F15 virt-manager gui locks/freezes in the default storage pool
    There is a bug which states that sym-linked storage pools will lock
    virt-manager, and now reports that the default storage pool does as well.

  - 674530 Change CDROM of guest, new CD is truncated to the size of the old
    Installing a very old guest which requires several CDs, the CD size is
    truncated to the size of the first CD.  This issue has been resolved
    upstream and will be in the next qemu update.

  - 693530 Qemu does the wrong thing with Cache=None and looks like corruption
    btrfs complains about corruption when Windows guests do certain types of
    writes with cache=none. This is really a btrfs issue, qemu behaves as
    expected.
