[Including Adam on this thread] Could someone from Anaconda team please confirm what is the design to follow for installing virtualization specific packages? Should such packages be installed always or conditionally based on the environment?

Considering this and various other cases like P2V, V2V etc, I think all these packages can be installed by default and must be required to be no-op wherever they are not applicable. That sounds simplest approach to me.
