I vote for keeping blacklisting enabled in ovirt.org ISO for two reasons:

1. I'd like to push Fedora to change this policy over time.  But first
   we just need to get the node into Fedora w/o blacklisting...
2. The RHEVH product uses blacklisting and I would rather that
   blacklist only be enabled in the product since that reduces our
   chances of catching errors elsewhere
