So https://review.openstack.org/#/c/58494/ is new to me as of today.
The 0.9.8 on ubuntu precise broke me (and our internal CI system which
is running against precise images, but that's internal so meh). The
gate is running against ubuntu trusty and I have a way forward on
getting updated libvirt in ubuntu precise (with updated docs on how
others can as well), which is a short-term fix until I move my dev
environment to ubuntu trusty.
My bigger concern here was how this impacts RHEL 6.5 which I'm running
Juno on, but looks like that has libvirt 0.10.2 so I'm good.
