Speaking as an innocent* bystander: I would usually presume that I can use any recent libvirt to test current QEMU, even bleeding edge. In this case, not even the latest released libvirt version will be fine, I would also need to build libvirt from git (which is probably not something a non-libvirt developer will usually do). If everything goes according to plan, I can only test QEMU with a released libvirt version at the very tail end of hardfreeze, where only release blockers are appropriate. I think it would be really beneficial to general QEMU test coverage to push deleting this option back a release or two. We should make testing QEMU in conjunction with libvirt as uncomplicated as possible. *YMMV
