I find it's needed onlyh when you need to interact with a program and workaround bugs or temporarily broken features, and also when the program gives no other way to determine its features. For some reason, I find kernels are the main thing this matters for... If the help text, some other output, or an API gives enough information for interacting programs to know what to do, that's much better and works with arbitrary patches etc. -- Jamie -- Libvir-list mailing list Libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
