The fact that it is being used in the gate seems somewhat ancillary to it's mission, and forcing a default of "spam the system logs with tons of libvirt messages" seems counter to the core mission of devstack. As is, without modification devstack makes looking at anything useful in my system logs impossible without grep -v libvirt and is intrusive to developer's workstations.
