I really don't see the point of evaluating possible but unlinkely[1]
impact on any distro. As I said, we give distros enough time and that
should be more than enough upstream could do. i-e these exact details
are irrelevant to me. Since they are very relevant to you, I'd suggest
you do the research and then let me know which solution you want and I
will implement that.

[1] As I already mentioned already, it's very unlikely that any distro
would want to upgrade Boxes and libvirt-glib to latest version but not
want to update to even an year older libvirt.
