Where any libvirt code just duplicates something that alrady exists, then
I think there's no compelling reason to keep it, the best code is code
that doesn't exist.

I don't want todo too many big bang replacements though, so I think best
to deprecate existing libvirt code and phase it out incrementally in many
cases.

Daniel
