I opened a bug report[1] for this too, doing the right thing for
out-of-the-box configuration is ok, but everything should be opt-out and
manually configurable.

I add sanity-check rules at top of my netfilter chains and when a
libvirt network start it's not "protected" by theses rules.

It's like my bug report on dnsmasq[2], I already have a complete
DHCP/DNS-with-LDAP-backend configuration for the subnet, I don't need it
but can not opt-out the feature.

This disempower the user/administrator, which I think is bad.

So, what I whould like to see:

1. Automatic configuration for out-of-the-box setup
2. Opt-out all the automatic configurations
3. Manually configurable, with pre-up(before), up(doing it),
   post-up(after) and their down counterparts.

Please.
