Yes, but "fixing" this issue in libvirt is not correct.
It needs to be fixed in the right place and iproute2 this is.
libvirt is not the only user of this iproute2 feature.
I agree that making all clients work around a bug is annoying; on the
other hand, once a client has worked around it, I see no reason to force
the client to have to revert, since the workaround is arguably more legible.
