I will attempt to raise the priority of bug 900 in order to get it onto the agenda of an upcoming Austing Group call (unfortunately, the Austin Group meeting once per week tends to get through fewer bugs on average than the rate at which bugs are being filed, so there have been rather long lags at resolving any particular bug). -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3266 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org
