I was actually striving to move and rename all the stuff dealing with
virStorageSource to be called with the appropriate prefix. This will
also need splitting of src/util/virstoragefile.c, so this would be a
regression in naming in my opinion.
All these APIs are currently called virStorageFileXXXX right now though,
so this is really fixing the inconsistency we already had between API
name and file name right now. I agree though, it could be nice to
further rename the APIs to be called virStorageSourceXXXX, and move
them into a virstoragesource.{c,h} file, but I think that's a separate
followup since its a pre-existing problem with virstoragefile.{c,h}.
Regards,
Daniel
