   3. Part of 3.6 is to move to web management instead of the TUI, done via Cockpit (fabiand, 15:23:14)
   4. Creating wrappers around the existing configuration classes seemed to be very "hacky" and wouldn't get us away from some of the problems we have now (fabiand, 15:25:28)
   5. Additionally, calling out to the shell doesn't provide any reasonable feedback to the web UI (fabiand, 15:26:08)

   9. rbarry took care of ovirt-node-dbus-acbkend (fabiand, 15:31:07)
   10. dougsland factored out the python files related to performing host configuration into a subpackage, which is required by ovirt-node-dbus-backend (fabiand, 15:31:40)
