Yes, it would be good to pick it up in order to avoid changing the API
in 1.8 (I guess we would do it anyway because the current behaviour
doesn't make any sense and we'd call it bug fix, but libvirt would have
to deal with it and better to do it right in the first release.)

Do you want to pick it up yourself or should I send a pull request?
