I'm quite happy with KVM tool and hope they continue working on it.  My only
real wish is that they wouldn't copy QEMU so much and would try bolder
things that are fundamentally different from QEMU.

Hey, right now our only source of crazy ideas is Ingo and I think he's
actually a pretty conservative guy when it comes to technology. Avi
has expressed some crazy ideas in the past but they require switching
away from C and that's not something we're interested in doing. ;-)

Just a couple random suggestions:

- Drop SDL/VNC. Make a proper Cairo GUI with a full blown GTK interface. Don't rely on virt-manager for this. Not that I have anything against virt-manager but there are many layers between you and the end GUI if you go that route.

- Sandbox the device model from day #1. The size of the Linux kernel interface is pretty huge and as a hypervisor, it's the biggest place for improvement from a security perspective. We're going to do sandboxing in QEMU, but it's going to be difficult. It would be much easier for you given where you're at.
