I've looked at it, though not extensively. Given the difficulties I
encountered with KVM, its demands on bridged network ports that force
pair bonding upstream into the virtualization guest, the "QEMU backend
with a new name" that is libvirt, and its dog slow performance under
RHEL 5 and CentOS 5, I threw it out ASAP and stuck with Virtualbox for
home systems (for the graceful interfaces no matter the hosting
platform)) and VMWare Workstation (to deal with SCO OpenServer: don't
ask).
Hopefully RHEL 6/CentOS 6 will resolve the difficulties. The burden of
NetworkManager as a management tool for virtualization server and
guest configurations concerns me: it's oversized for the small needs
of virtualization guests, and has never worked well in production
environments in my experience.
