My understanding is newer libvirt-python is supposed to work with older
libvirt. And on master we (the gate) use new libvirt-python (3.5.0)
against older libvirt (2.5.0) on Ubuntu Xenial which seems to support
this. My hunch is this bump should be perfectly fine, people will just
have to rebuild libvirt-python if installing from source. Not a bad idea
to get more confirmation though.
