If we at least start the discussion, we can get feedback on whether the
idea is likely to gain traction, or there are other things we have
overlooked
I can open an issue on the systemd side pointing to these patches,
but polishing things up to the level of a proper PR is off the table
right now because I simply can't allocate enough time for it. Would
you consider that good enough to move forward with the libvirt
changes?
On the Fedora side, I wouldn't know what forum would be the most
appropriate to get the discussion started. Any pointers?
