Or is the change a no-go for legal or libvirt reasons? An alternative mentioned in this thread was: Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard, Copyright (c) 200x-2011 s.o. The former was intended as a short-term fix for 1.0. I would prefer the latter mid-term since Fabrice doesn't hold any copyright/IPR in the code after he left, but what year and what someone?
