It could be an amazing change that results in much more progress for hardware acceleration on guests of various types (since that is what vmware is good at) in kvm…
Or it could mean that they are dropping that feature from vmware altogether.
Regardless, I like this change because it means I would be able to run vmware machines and libvirt kvm machines at the same time, at least when I am forced to use vmware workstation.
I also dislike proprietary software in general, so I think less proprietary software and more FOSS is a good thing.

Yeah but VMware was good. And I’m not seeing Broadcom investing into porting the “proprietary goodness” of VMware into KVM. I just see then looking at KVM and saying “that’s good enough” and seeing it a cost reduction measure.
I honestly don’t know how this could turn out.
