Hey Juan,

do you also think future releases of kvm will have support for live 
migration from older versions? We're quite keen on knowing this, as we 
need to make a decision on what to build our stuff on. Being able to 
transparently move virtual servers onto a host running a newer version 
is definitely a feature we need...

Thanks in advance,

Nils
