I wonder if we should advise users to use the other list APIs that are
around for a while (virConnectListAll. I guess it all boils down to
question if the hellolibvirt binary is supposed to work with ancient
libvirts or is just an example shipped within a release.
In case it is supposed to work with prehistoric versions, we must add a
fallback code. If we are satisfied with the example working with current
libvirt, there's no need for fallbacking code then.
I originally wrote hellolibvirt because at the time (prehistoric
versions!) there was no good example of a trivial use of the library.
I think it's not a bad idea to keep it updated with modern code since
I'm guessing anybody looking at it probably intends to develop against
the version from which they got it.  I think it should illustrate the
most basic use of the API, so it should demonstrate best practices for
the functionality it implements, in this case, use the new API that
lists all domains rather than the two older calls and don't bother
with the fallback case.
I agree.

Additionally for the fallback case there's "example" code in the virsh source tree.
