Whether qemu-bridge-helper should live in qemu is another point to think
about. I think I would like to start with it being in qemu but then
hope someone else pulls it into a separate project along with tunctl.
So how about putting your qemu-bridge-helper into qemu for the -net bridge
wrapper, but makeing -net netcf default to a different wrapper that we
put into netcf?
The netcf version can then be extended with advanced features like routing
and macvlan modes, as well as more sophisticated integration into the
distro's access control infrastructure.
Yup.
