Now that I think about it a bit more, I'm not really interested in hobbling ourselves until 2017 to support libvirt 0.9.8 on ubuntu 12.04. It's a bit easier with the RHEL/CentOS model, where they deprecate their point releases and increment software versions on each point release, so you're more often getting newer software, but it will be the same issue soon when CentOS 7 comes out. CentOS 6 will still get updates and software bumps, but it will likely get left behind eventually.
