Accepting patches :-)   I think the biggest thing is being able to
(easily) hook in something automated to run as part of the live boot.
While it's easy enough to add something to run anaconda as Rahul asked
about, being able to run anything generically is a bit trickier.

The developer config includes the virtualization group and thus should
have qemu and kvm as well as virt-manager
