vHMC supports for hypervisors; KVM, Zen, ESX & PowerVM. Since we support vHMC as a KVM "appliance", and OpenShift Virtualization runs KVM guests, can we add OpenShift Virtualization as a supported platform for vHMC?

Customers run vHMC under VMware today, and are supported by IBM.  As many of our customers are replacing VMware with OVE (OpenShift Virtualization), they'd very much value IBM supporting vHMC under OVE.  If they take our vHMC KVM image, and implement it under OVE themselves, they will have two vendors needed for support; IBM for vHMC KVM and Red Hat for OVE.  Today they are fully supported by IBM when running vHMC under VMware.
