I'm not saying it's a bug. I'm just pointing out that it's not really useful by itself to open connection just to anything else than the VM driver itself. Libvirt is a library used to manage VMs and that's the main reason anybody will install it. I doubt that anybody would install libvirt to manage storage or firewall, since there are way better options to do so than our network/storage driver.
