Now, simply because it's off by default and before now nobody had asked for it to be enabled. The Virt SIG is a community effort -- adding a configure option and rebuilding is no problem, but the Virt SIG will need help testing / working out bugs in this feature if it's going to be available going forward. If you're up for helping test it / work out any bugs, I can rebuild it with the above arguments today. -George

You can install it with --enablerepo=virt-xen-46-candidate; I haven't done any testing on it at all (all our test boxes are being moved today). Let me know how it works for you. -George
Hi till now it are the rpm's with spice support working without problems (spice works to :) ) there is one issue what I have found, after install does grub2-mkconfig make this entry: multiboot /boot/xen-4.6.0-rc-2.el7.gz placeholder... but I think it should be: multiboot /boot/xen.gz placeholder ... with the first one it doesnt boot here, grub cant find it allthough its there in fs... -- --------- Greetz
