If we add this in 2.3, libvirt will use it. If we wait until 2.4, libvirt will manage without (as it has already managed without for all earlier releases); it is just a little bit harder to ensure that formats are being uniformly used. I'm okay if this topic proves too controversial to add into 2.3 at this late in the cycle, even though I'm in favor of adding it. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
