I've been wondering about that, but I think the consequence of that bug is a
deadlock in a corner case (closing the dialog while it's still
loading ISOs), so I would say that we can live the dependency  on
libgovir as it currently is (otherwise we're going to depend on an
unreleased version of libgovirt).
