The main reason OVM not working in ACS is about license. I have multiple important patches to OVM agent which is LGPL licensed. Another reason is OVM2.3 is too old, it's Domain0 kernel is 2.6.18 which is approximately 6 years old that cannot work properly on recent hardware(the main issue we faced is vconfig doesn't support some networkcard). Given community is starting some effort on OVM3, I would suggest focusing on OVM3 rather than bring OVM2 back
