First of all, congratulations on getting a respectable first release out ! I don't think vinagre is going away anytime soon (if ever), so focussing on the vm aspects in boxes for 3.4 over the remote connection parts might be a smart choice. I don't know if adding a 'preview' qualifier to the feature really adds much clarity. Our 3.4 announcement should clearly document what boxes has to offer then, and what's still in planning/development. That will hopefully carry the message that boxes is a promising, new app and not fully grown yet. It would be a great goal to be able to run gnome 3.4 images inside boxes in gnome 3.4.
