If this would help the sub-teams to split things up cannot be answered
by me. I hope some of the sub-team leaders will give their opinion here.

>From a users point of view I don't care, as an example, if the libvirt
driver is (theoretically) without bugs. I'm interested if I can do a 
live-migration/snapshot/reboot/<your-favorite-feature-here> and if I 
can do so, what are my restrictions. So, yes, the rationale behind the
proposal was indeed to get an impression where it makes sense to invest
time and effort, mainly from a use case perspective through the layers.
We have enough open bugs to be busy all the time and I don't want to 
make any orders of direction. You could see it as a navigation system.
It makes nice suggestions which way you could go, but you are free to
take another route because of personal experience or unforeseen events.
