| It means the host is F28 and guests will be F30. 

Why not call them KVM_HOST_OS and KVM_GUEST_OS?  I think that would be
a lot clear.

Oh, I see.  So KVM_GUEST_OS_VARIANT would be a better name for
KVM_OS_VARIANT.

My desktop (Fedora 30) supports fedora30 as a variant.

[hugh at redeye libreswan]$ git grep -n KVM_OS | cat
mk/kvm-targets.mk:29:KVM_OS ?= fedora28
mk/kvm-targets.mk:30:include testing/libvirt/$(KVM_OS).mk
mk/kvm-targets.mk:104:KVM_OS_VARIANT ?= $(KVM_OS)
mk/kvm-targets.mk:105:VIRT_OS_VARIANT ?= --os-variant $(KVM_OS_VARIANT)
mk/kvm-targets.mk:111:KVM_BASE_HOST = swan$(KVM_OS)base
mk/kvm-targets.mk:1127:    $(call kvm-var-value,KVM_OS)
testing/libvirt/fedora28.mk:5:KVM_OS_VARIANT ?= fedora26
testing/libvirt/fedora29.mk:5:KVM_OS_VARIANT ?= fedora30
testing/libvirt/fedora30.mk:5:KVM_OS_VARIANT ?= fedora30

Those last three look interesting.  Does fedora 29's kvm understand
variant fedora30?  Surely Fedora 28 understands at least variant fedora28.
