Presumably for virtualization environments, the implication is that people should aim to use SPICE + QXL for graphics, and if they really, really, really want to stick with the crappy Cirrus + VNC combo, they will just have to use the vesa Xorg driver. GNOME Boxes is already doing SPICE + QXL by default for all modern Fedora. We'll need to make sure virt-manager/virt-install are doing the same by default for Fedora, and then we'll be fine wrt virt IMHO.
