Unless I missed important things, your arguments boiled down to "one
year is old enough, we should not care about distros".
It's very hard to discuss if you over-exagerate my opinions to make
them sound bad. I'm did not say we should not care about distros but
rather that 1 year is plenty of care.
I've asked what
the impact would be on distros, no answer so far.
The answer was that 1 year of grace time is enough and we shouldn't
need to be bound by release cycles and packaging of individual
distros. Also I pointed out the fact that it does not (in practical
terms) make any sense to only upgrade to latest libvirt-glib but
wanting to stay with an year old libvirt.
I've asked what the
impact would be in terms of #ifdef ugliness, no answer so far.
The answer was that magnitude of ugliness is irrelevant. Surely you
know that this is not anything objective. To me a single #ifdef is
ugly enough but seems it's not for you so how do you expect either of
us to convince each other with arguments? If you really need something
more concrete, I see at least 12 #ifdefs needed. Pretty ugly for my
taste at least.
Quite
hard to make a decision with so few details ;)
All needed "details" are avaiable and it's only a matter of taste and
amount of care we want to give to distros. Both are subjective
matters.

danpb is away for a while as I understand it, and my feeling is that we
could resolve this on our own if you were at least trying to give more
details about the various alternatives.
I don't know many alternatives. It's either bumping the dep or adding
ugly #ifdef based solution.
