+===========================
+Libvirt migration internals
+===========================
+
+.. contents::
+
+Migration is a multi-step operation with at least two distinct actors,
+the source and the destination libvirtd daemons, and a lot of failure
+points. This document describes the basic migration workflow in the
+code level, as a way to complement `the base migration docs <migration.html>`_
+and help developers to get up to speed quicker with the code.
+
+In this document, unless stated otherwise, these conventions are followed:
+
+* 'user' refers to any entity that initiates a migration, regardless of being
+  an human using 'virsh' or a program consuming the Libvirt API;
+
+* 'source' refers to the source host of the migration, where the guest currently
+  exists;
+
+* 'destination' refers to the destination host of the migration. As of
+  Libvirt 6.5.0 local migration isn't supported, thus source and destination
+  refers to different hosts;

Is this right? What commit is reponsible for this change?
