Yes, it's frequently allocated (1/second), and kept in memory too for history.
Ok, fine with me then.

It's only a returned structure, allocated by the lib, so I guess that's
fine to append fields later, right?
Yes, I think it should be fine, I think it's possible to find scenarios
that could break when adding fields, but that's probably some convoluted
cases where we can say "don't do that". Iirc libvirt does this too, so this
should be good enough for us :)
