+ Remove support for qcow/default encrypted volumes
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ Disallow using a qcow encrypted volume for the guest and
+ disallow creation of the qcow or default encrypted volume
+ from the storage driver. Support for qcow encrypted volumes
+ has been phasing out since QEMU 2.3 and by QEMU 2.9 creation
+ of a qcow encrypted volume via qemu-img required usage of
+ secret objects, but that support was never added to libvirt.
