Man, and I thought I was pedantic about about those kinds of things. I
guess git has spoiled everyone. :)

I'm not sure I'm following. When this gets done, we have a menu that says:

So this new menu grouping includes both KVM, Xen, and lguest. It
includes both the host-side and guest-side support. Are you suggesting
