Besides being written in python and being virt related this doesn't have much overlap with virt-manager.git code. All current command line tools are largely concerned with manipulating/generating libvirt XML, and looks like virt-bootstrap won't ever do that? So for example it will have a completely orthogonal test suite. That's my initial impression anyways Right now the tool is basically just a wrapper around skopeo; besides handling virt-builder images, what else do you foresee the tool handling? Different formats, example command line arguments, etc. Just trying to get a sense of how much bigger the tool will get.
