Presumably people on RHEL5are updating cobbler but not virtinst, so they will be using the same old codepaths.This would also mean I have to worry less about regressing everyone's systems,and only regressing for people that are also upgrading their host to anothermajor OS (say f16->f17)However I would then recommend yall come up with a timetable of when to dropthe old virtinst code for good, and make the virt-install impl the canonicalway to provision libvirt guests, just to save yourself headaches. That wouldgive you time to get out ample warnings, announce it loudly, etc.- Cole
