OK, why SUSE selected KVM as a default hypervisor? Any problem with other hypervisors? Why the Virtualization part name is "KVM Virtualization Host and Tools" ? Why not "Xen Virtualization Host and Tools" or "Virtualization Host and Tools"? Is it not clear?
If you care about SUSE products, you have to talk to a SUSE sales rep. This is the openSUSE Factory mailing list - here we develop the openSUSE Products (openSUSE Tumbleweed and openSUSE Leap) - granted, there is some overlap when it comes to the packages, but the media layout is completely decoupled and different release managers assigned. We only share source packages. As for the Tumbleweed DVD (where I am the designated release manager, so I can only speak about that product) - I only have limited space to put stuff on the DVD. This does not mean that the DVD picked packages are (much) favored over the rest of the tree (there is to some degree a higher scrutinity / observance of issues for things picked on the DVD, but the openQA tests are not strictly limited to the DVD - other things can be and are also tested) As to why I'd always favor qemu/kvm over xen on the openSUSE Tumbleweed DVD is the reach of users it has: more users are likely to be interested in KVM setups, as they are typically 'easier' to setup, as they behave much like a normal computer (boot from dvd/usb support, no special tricks/tweaks needed). Other than that, the content of the DVD is at any time open for discussion. Cheers Dominique
