It may be reliable or not, but it's certainly not supported. If you
have problems or questions you're unlikely to receive support (on kvm or

It depends on your needs. Many users are satisfied with the lastest
stable branch (2.6.32.y or 2.6.34.y). Others want a distribution for
longer term support. The adventuous run kvm.git master branch.
