The sysconfig files shipped with libvirt contain the defaults, and

after installation, just as is the case for all the configuration
files in /etc/libvirt.
Right. Once they are modified for whatever reason things will go downhill.
Just recently the default (for libvirtd) changed from --listen to --timeout.
To clarify: that was a not-so-recent downstream change. I have an *old*
downstream patch for libvirtd.sysconf that adds some (likely no longer required)
SUSE metadata. I don't really recall why or how '--listen' ended up in
LIBVIRTD_ARGS in that patch. And even though I removed it from the patch nearly
2 years ago, it is still biting me in the ass today :-).
That said, I like the trend of moving stuff owned by packages out of /etc and
might remove these files from the downstream SUSE package regardless of the
outcome here.
