Makes sense .. let me then work on centos-release-kvm-power, that would
Requires: centos-release-virt-common

BTW, just looking at existing rpm pkgs for this, and I see
centos-release-kvm but its it still needed anymore ? it seems it's only
carrying some specific "{rust-}vhost*" pkgs (for ovirt ?)

It ships packages that can be used directly with qemu-kvm, not specific to oVirt. They've been prepared in collaboration with Automotive SIG. I think you can reuse it for shipping qemu-kvm for power.

FWIW, as I'm also member of the Extras SIG (through Infra SIG membership myself), I just tagged to -release centos-release-kvm-power, and just announced it.
