Many of the Koji builders are actually virtualized themselves now, so if the build process is planning to spin up a new VM, it needs to either be forced to run on a hardware builder (because I really can't believe that the install under full emulation will be a reasonable use of resources) or grow a new ability to spin up a remote cloud instance.

This just makes things a lot more complex. I would measure the resources needed before taking any steps like that, because as I said before installers are I/O bound so as long as you use virtio you should be fine.

Maybe one day we'll have good nested virt though ...
