[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#602807: libvirt: Support esx hypervisor

[Dmitry Smirnov]

Guido, I understand your concerns regarding potential problems that ESX 
support may cause. What if we try to enable ESX while labelling it as 
unsupported in "README.Debian" so we reserve rights to close/reject any bugs 
related to ESX support right away? If it causes a slightest of problems then 
I reckon nobody would object its takedown. However it might be that ESX 
support will not increase maintenance burden in any way.

I feel that ESX support could be useful for hybrid clouds and I think we 
should not disable upstream features unless they are proven to be 
problematic.

Sometimes strength of free software in its ability to work with proprietary 
systems and protocols (I'm thinking about "samba", "libreoffice", "calligra" 
and others).

What do you think?

However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the
results.
