The only (hopefully highly theoretical) problem I see with this is that
we may end up picking a libvirt commit which subsequently (e.g. via
a libxl backport) turns out to have an issue. Such a problem could be
dealt with in the suggested the stable branch tracking model (or any
other model not dealing with something completely frozen).
I don't think there is anything stopping us manually updating one of
these frozen "branches", should such a situation occur.
