I see that the libguestfs packages are included in the RHEV

Are there any plans to further integrate the libguestfs toolset into
the RHEV product ? In particular, the ability to mount and change
raw volume content for a VM via guestfish ?
Yes there are plans to do this, but no public timelines yet that I'm
aware of. You might be better asking this question on one of the
oVirt lists, since that is now where development happens:

It would be very nice to be able to mount a RHEV template and make
an alteration without having to boot a VM and create a fresh
template from it.

*If* you are certain that the VM is not running, and you know its
UUID, then it's possible to go into the RHEV storage and modify it
directly. I can't remember the details but it was fairly obvious how
VMs are mapped onto logical volumes by UUID.
BTW - Are you doing RH Summit again this year ?
Not this year, but perhaps next year.
