Usuaully, justification for including a change goes in the commit
message. ;)

However, since libvirt is written in
+          memory unsafe language some memory leaks might have been
+          actually fixed by using VIR_AUTOFREE(). It is definitely step
+          towards defensive programming.

I thought I was programming reasonably defensively already.
Anyway I also vote against including this in the news.

This change is only relevant for blockdev which is not enabled yet.
For "legacy" blockjobs we get the state from QEMU. So this change can
be dropped.
