FYI I extended the distro support wiki page with details of the min libvirt we have required in each Nova release: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/LibvirtDistroSupportMatrix#Nova_release_min_version We could just add a row for Oxxxx release with an educated guess as to a possible target, to give people an idea of where we're likely to go.
