Doesn't this require setting installing an ssh server on your machine?
openssh-server doesn't seem to be installed/enabled by default on many
(most?) distros, including Fedora.
In addition doesn't this only work when you ssh as root to the box that
the libvirtd instance is running on? I couldn't get this working with my
user account and a qemu-ssh uri. I'm probably missing something ...

Our policy for Fedora / RHEL is to not change upstream behaviour, so this
kind of policy decision should be resolved here.
Okay, good to know.
