From what I know, not many.  I believe it is used in some CI
_somewhere_... by _someone_.

And many of them are broken by design.  I remember fixing one just out
of sheer curiosity and it was hard not to go down the rabbit hole and
get stuck in there.

Good luck with that, it looks like the code haven't gotten a good scrub
in years.  Are you planning to use it somewhere?  Will there be anything
left after cleanups? =)

One suggestion could be too have a look at avocado-vt (what used to be
autotest's virt-test) for that is being still actively developed.
Although I have no idea what's your intention, so I might be just
generating noise, in which case I apologise.

Have a nice day,
