We are planning on cutting a new virt-manager release for F11 beta. There
are
some pretty large and invasive changes, including a complete
rewrite/redesign
of the 'New VM' wizard, and a lot of rejiggering of the main manager and
VM
details windows.
The majority of the work is done (though offline, not posted/committed
yet),
however the 'New VM' wizard bits are still in flux: I'm still waiting on
the
final incremental design. After this, we still need enough time to
advertise
the changes and take in any community feedback.
Unfortunately this is being pushed to the wire, so I was hoping to get an
extension for the version bump: Ideally building the new package no later
than
the monday morning before the beta freeze (March 9th).
Having to use an early version of the UI (or drop it altogether) will be
really unfortunate: it will only offset more major UI revisions to post-
GA.
As I've been going, I've made avoiding regressions priority number 1, so
I'm
pretty confident this won't introduce any major hiccups. There are also
F11
'Features' which are in part being blocked by the urgency of getting the
UI
locked down:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/SVirt_Mandatory_Access_Control
Hopefully this is sufficient justification. Let me know if there is
anything
else I can provide.
