Hi everyone

What do you think of creating a new 'virtualization' project or herd/team?

My initial motivation for this idea was that while libvirt is being
maintained by 'xen', it is not xen-specific anymore but also supports kvm,
qemu, lxc and openvz.

It would also make sense for other parts like the network setup (which is
pretty equal for xen, kvm, qemu and virtualbox: tun/tap combined with a
bridge or with routing & masquerading).

The idea is to collect the following package-"families":
- xen
- kvm
- virtualbox
- vmware
- qemu
- libvirt

and eventually also the following:
- vserver
- openvz

>From my perspective it'd make sense to create a project in which we can also
provide documentation (currently maintained by the docs project), a
roadmap, comparison charts, etc.

So, what do you think?

Cheers,
Tiziano

ps It has been suggested to post this on -dev since it's about herds and
therefore about maintaining ebuilds.
