I think the version of Libvirt included with RHEL/CentOS supports RBD storage
(but not pools), so outside of compiling a newer version not sure there can be
anything else done aside from waiting for repo additions/newer versions of the
distro.
Not sure what your scenario is, but this is the exact reason we switched our
underlying virtualization infrastructure to Ubuntu. Their cloud archive PPA has
updated packages for QEMU/KVM, Libvirt, Open vSwitch, etc. that are backported
for LTS releases, and is something I personally think RHEL is WAY behind the
curve on (getting better with their RDO initiative though). We didn't like
consuming resources validating that updated builds of QEMU/Libvirt were going
to cause problems and just allocated those resources to learning the Ubuntu
environment.
As far as streamlining management on top of that, you have some options
(outside of virt-manager, which has no native support for RBD IIRC) like
Proxmox (which is an entire solution like ESXi/Hyper-V using KVM) or something
like OpenStack or OpenNebula (we use OpenNebula). Beats having to edit domains
by hand. ;-)

Dan,
I found the thread but it looks like another dead end :(
