We've no plans to include lguest in the Fedora kernels at this time. Again
it is only available for i386. Its current purpose is as a means for kernel
developers to research & experiment with virtualization ideas - not for end
users to put into real world use - there is Xen & KVM for real world use in
production. There are also no tools for managing lguest instances since it
is mostly targetted for kernel hackers. Signs are that some of the ideas 
from lguest may merge into KVM allowing it to do paravirt without hardware
support - if this happens it would be a better choice for Fedora that using
lguest directly since we've already got management tools around KVM. So
we're basically intending to 'wait & see' wrt to lguest and not enable it
in Fedora at this time.
