(For some reason I'd been consciously avoiding doing that, maybe some misguided attempt to follow the "names should be generic" guideline. But in this case I think that really is the most accurate description of what is being done.) Thanks for your voice of reason! (there is no place that I second guess myself more than the *name* of new features.) Unless there are objections, I will respin with that naming (with default being "kernel", subject to change sometime in the future when the functionality of the two is deemed equivalent). -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
