Since I work quite a bit with meta-virtualization and thus QEMU that will be nice to avoid any potential issues in that area. Thanks for the heads up regarding other vte users in oe-core. This will allow me to focus on some runtime testing in meta-oe prior to me sending a patch that way. This should wrap up the discussions around vte for oe-core at least for now.
