Yes, I'm aware of that. The problem space here is "what is Fedora's

As far as I'm aware, there is nothing in our rules or our communities
that makes hard requirements about the freeness of the platforms on
which we run.
The KVM stack works well on Fedora / RHEL and (so I've heard)
reasonably
well on Ubuntu. I don't know if it's widely used or supported on
other
distributions, or even necessarily packaged for them. It definitely
is not
an option on Windows or OS X.
Again. I said "Linux host".
Sorry for not making this part clearer, but in the wider context it
doesn't matter what you said, because the wider context is whether we
should support other virt platforms or not.
If you would like me to put it in context, fine, add the following text
to my previous post:
"You say 'Linux host', but why should we only worry about Linux hosts?
It's clearly the case that people want to run Linux distributions on
Windows virtualization hosts, and this seems like a valuable case that
we should consider".
I can make strong cases for many things we cannot scale to. I'd love
to
see those pushing for this to actually step up and do it. Get
testcases
written, form groups of triagers, just run the damn tests regardless
of
criteria status, present results. And KEEP doing that until we can
see
that this isn't a flash in the pan and it's sustainable.
Sure, that would be nice, of course. But often such efforts grow out of
discussions like this. The Xen case did. I'm certainly hoping the same
people who pushed for the Xen support and wrote the Xen criterion and
test cases will be testing it this time around as they did last time
around, for instance.
