My concern is with users with live usb and persistent storage I'm pretty
sure they would like to get update notifications.
Unfortunately we can't do much about that case (except make
livecd-iso-to-disk reverse the customizations in the kickstart when
writing a persistent storage device, which sounds...eww), and it's the
minority case.

There are several benefits of using containers instead of virtualzation.
bare metal performance, less storage space etc. so I would say yes.
I would think we should be focusing on testing all the connection
options in virt-manager and those are xen,qemu/kvm and lxc ( linux
containers )
Seems reasonable to test all those, but I gotta admit I haven't seen
much use of LXC in the wild, it doesn't seem like something people are
clamoring for. Any others on the list particularly keen on LXC? Am I
missing the latest hot thing? :)
