+ Start linking against GLib and using its features
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ Up until now, libvirt has been dealing with platform portability and
+ the lack of certain features in libc by using gnulib and implementing
+ its own functions and data structures respectively; going forward, it
+ will prefer the facilities offered by GLib instead.

+ Stop distributing generated documentation
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ Most downstreams already patch the libvirt source to some extent, so

+ When multiple security drivers are involved, failure in one of them
