Review Comment:
I'm not OK with that. Irrelevant of what "template" we assign the VM to (this is low level stuff that customer does not need to care about) - this is about asking user to change the "OS Type" - and we need to explain that fact - "you have to change the OS type after the import"

The guest OS comes from the template, and for these kind of imports we are using the default import template which has the CentOS 4.5 OS type

Review Comment:
is default import template - CentOS 4 or CentOS 5 (or both - picks based on guest OS)?

We need the same for the Import QCOW2 from Local/Shared storage (or remote KVM) - I think in all cases, the guest OS is not specified, so it defaults to CentOS 4.5

it's not the "template" - it's the guest OS type (the template is some dummy default template)
