@Ian, If i understand the bug report correctly, this would seem to be a
generic bug regarding the default networking option setup as part of
libvirt.  If this is the case, I agree it's not a great ideal for
servers - but also not an unreasonable default for the platform as a
whole use case.

The default network provided for kvm, for example is:
$ cat /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml 
<network>
  <name>default</name>
  <bridge name="virbr%d" />
  <forward/>
  <ip address="192.168.122.1" netmask="255.255.255.0">
    <dhcp>
      <range start="192.168.122.2" end="192.168.122.254" />
    </dhcp>
  </ip>
</network>

I haven't checked for other virtulisation methods, but I imagine it is
similar.  It is easy enough to provide a chosen networking model, so I'm
not fully convinced this is a valid bug.

Please can you confirm I have understood the bug report correctly.

Thanks.
