AHV Virtualization

Food for thought - If Nutanix wanted to grab more market share and with Broadcom taking over VMWARE, would VMWARE customers be interested in AHV as a hypervisor in a non hyperconverged environment?   I know it goes against the grain of what Nutanix wants to offer (Hyperconverged) but for some smaller customers with  only a few nodes it is a very productive solution with the big hit on disk in a 3 node cluster.
