So, reading between the lines here, I guess you're worried that we'd
let code paths that violate what upstream will support leak into the
main codepaths for libvirt - and thus we'd end up with a situation
where we aren't supported by upstream for all regular operations.

I agree that *that* is a big deal : is there something we could do to
prevent that happening? E.g. annotating this whole thing as
experimental/not upstream supported or something?
