>From my point of view, there seems to be enough demand for ec2 images
of fedora. and releng has been requested to produce them. which means
that it needs to work at least in amazons ec2 environment.  ec2 is xen
based. they use rhel5 of different versions on the hosts. while it
would be awesome to run on fedora dom0 hosts we have kvm so im less
inclined for that to be a blocker.  there is enough differences between
the old xen used in ec2 and the much newer xen in fedora that i cold
see it could be possible for a image to boot in one environment and not
the other.  so yes it should be a blocker, my vote would be if it
doesnt work in ec2 we block.
