I'd like to see language about virbr there myself, even if only to indicate 
that the virbr* interfaces indicate virtualization packages are present and 
should be removed.  At least in the prose there was no guidance on what to 
do/how to resolve the situation if virbr* interfaces were found.
As a side note - how far down the specialization road are we going to be going 
with discrete profiles?  At one point I recall some talk on being able to 
construct a profile starting with a base profile and combining it with other 
profiles which could add/remove/alter items.

I've been flip flopping on this since yesterday.... Since existing STIG
is for RHEL6 Servers, not RHEL6-based hypervisors, I'm inclined to say
existing check should remain as is, with a net-new added for RHEL6 as a
hypervisor (KVM, OpenStack, RHEV, etc).

What do you think?
