Do we have any idea what percentage of CS users compile from source vs use = packaged versions? How many users of the packaged product will decide to sw= itch to a different platform where they don't have to jump through hoops to= get it to work? If we go this route, and some third party happens to be packaging CS builds= with kvm support enabled, would/could the Apache CloudStack download page = provide a link to that? I know this has been discussed from a legal/engineering POV, but I'm envisi= oning some amount of teeth gnashing, just wondering the best way to handle = it=85I don't want to see headlines "CloudStack removes support for KVM" whi= ch is what the more dramatic will say.
