Please don't randomly choose a default subnet; knowing that QEMU uses
10.0.2.x allows to adapt to this. If however QEMU starts randomly
assigning addresses we will also get random conflicts.
Please stick with a default like the current and simply make it
statically configurable.
I think that the suggestion is that qemu picks, one time, a new
default. This new default would be selected at random, and would be
the same on all new versions of qemu.
I don't think that the suggestion is to pick a random address every
time qemu starts.
I already have some scripts that depend on the 10.0.2.x default -- probably
others do too. Would changing to a different subnet by default really make
that much difference? 10.0.2.x is, after all, a possible "random" choice :)
