We rely on the stability of rhel/centos as well.  We have no patch/upgrade
policy or regulatory directive to do so.  Our servers are set and forget.
 We circle back for patch/upgrades only for break/fix.

I tried F19 just for the fun of it.  We ended up with conflicts trying to
run qemu-kvm with ceph.  I could get one or the other working but not both.
 Our architecture is calling for compute and storage to live on the same
host to save in hardware costs.

I also tried to recompile libvirt and qemu-kvm today.  I didn't even see
rbd libraries in the source code.
