Sure, but omv is software that needs updating and now I have to manage updates in multiple places. Also I don't want to put clones of omv in each of my projects. A single Vagrantfile (or omv.yaml) is acceptable, even desirable, to include in each project but I don't want a sub-repo nested in each of my projects that are under version control. That's a mess.
