But --permanent *did* work.

What you're seeing is the documented behavior:
        --permanent
            The permanent option --permanent can be used to set options
            permanently. These changes are not effective immediately, only
            after service restart/reload or system reboot. Without the
            --permanent option, a change will only be part of the runtime
            configuration.

            If you want to make a change in runtime and permanent
            configuration, use the same call with and without the
--permanent
            option.

That's fairly annoying behavior as it creates the potential for
accidentally diverging configurations.
Why not do the same as virsh an have two options for this? When I attach
a device I can specify --config to update the persistent configuration,
--live to update the runtime configuration and both if I want to change
both. That's a much better API in my opinion.

It's the same thing but with different names and a default, --config.
And I agree, it would be nice to be able to issue both options at once.
Would you open a BZ asking for this or should I?
