Which means libvirt should be patched to use qom-list right now, even before this event makes it in, in order to avoid its current bug of reusing a device id before the deletion has completed. Adding the event is still useful, as polling is never nice; and we already know how to make libvirt do conditional code based on whether query-events shows that the event has been added to minimize polling where possible. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
