RHEL and Fedora Virtualization Feature Parity

Robert Day wondered how the virtualization features^[1] of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 compared to Fedora 12.

Daniel Berrange explained^[2] "The KVM based virtualization in RHEL-5.4 is not nearly so far behind Fedora as you might think. The libvirt mgmt stack in RHEL-5.4 was rebased to be near parity with Fedora 11, and KVM in RHEL-5.4 is also pretty close to that using what's best described as a hybrid of kvm-83 and kvm-84."
