This says that new libvirt will unconditionally try to use unlimited
bandwidth, instead of the qemu default of 32Mbps-limited bandwidth, in
all cases where the user does not additionally provide their own limiting.

Is that a backwards-incompatible change?  Could there be an existing
client relying on the default limiting that will now be swamped by
libvirt being faster?  Or is it a bug fix, where things will now just
operate faster by default, and people that care about limiting are not
impacted because they already had an explicit limit?

I think it is the latter (a bug fix - no one that cares about limiting
should be relying on defaults), so after the discussion we've had in
this thread, I'm okay giving:

ACK.
