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.
I'm just trying to have a discussion about something concrete. If just
one #ifdef was needed, I guess you'll bear with me if I try to convince
you to go this way, with 12 #ifdef, you've got a more understandable
standing in opposing this.

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.
Same deal as with the amount of #ifdef needed, if only EL6 has a too old
libvirt, then you are in a much better position to convince me than if
Debian stable and latest Ubuntu (making things up) have a too old
libvirt.
Ie let's know the exact tradeoffs we are discussing here from a
technical point of view, maybe we won't have to agree to disagree and
look for a tie breaker ;)
