I would like have the work we have done for building RHEL 6 rpms used to create offical "Centos" signed packages for the LIS included in the centos-plus perminately as well as have an offical
"Centos" media or boot options on the current install media for installing as an enlighented guest on hyperv.

A few questions if you don't mind

Are these similar to the packages available here -> http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:/microsoft/

Can these drivers be loaded (or be made to load) via the driver disk option to the installer? (http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.dkms.devel/744)
and if so is this an acceptable method to you for loading them?

What license are these drivers covered under?

Also for the record, it is impossible to install an enlighened centos guest on HyperV using your method. Your method would require installing via emulated drivers on emulated devices then recreating the vm using the same disk image and all new synthetic (paravirt) devices rather than just installing on synthetic devices from the start to take advantage of the paravirt/enlightened I/O during install.

Cheers,
