It's really more up to the qemu maintainers, and they are pretty busy with bigger stuff. Unless Redhat wants changes, which is how the qemu-char changes I needed for IPMI support got into the release. As a note, that last comment was neither true nor fair. I apologize for this statement, and nobody should make disparaging remarks about the maintainers that work so hard on this. -corey >> >> I can set up a git repository on github.
