Please give the release candidate some testing and in case you find a
serious issue which should have a fix in the upcoming release, feel
free to reply to this thread to make sure the issue is more visible.
The "passt" network back-end is entirely non-functional on distributions
shipping with SELinux: the binary helper can't be executed. The
'virsh start' command reports:
error: internal error: Could not start 'passt': libvirt: error : cannot execute
binary /usr/bin/passt: Permission denied
and the guest doesn't start. This is on Fedora 37, but it should be
universally reproducible.
I provided more details on the thread at:

This is the relevant snippet from my domain XML file:
<interface type='user'>
<mac address='52:54:00:36:21:6f'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<backend type='passt'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01'
slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
