Makes sense. In the case that we do want to manage many hosts what manager would you recommend? We want to use vanilla KVM and manage hundreds of hosts. We have investigated several of the other tools and most seem to require that something else be running on the hosts besides just libvirtd to be able to manage them. And others want you to use their OS instead of your choice linux with libvirtd installed. If you have any suggestions they would be much appreciated. Thanks

case exactly?
I don't know what 'aware' means in this context.

Thanks for the offer, but I don't think this is something that makes sense for

virt-manager. We are really targeting users with a small number of hosts and a
small number of virtual machines. Of course, we don't want the app to fall
over if you have 20 connections, but I don't have any interest in adding
explicit, potentially complex and/or confusing UI to facilitate a workflow
that would really only apply to a small percentage of all virt-manager usage.
