We've previously discussed issues around output format stability but never really came up against the issue until now. My concern would be someone grok'ing the 'virsh list' output and now suddenly getting an extra data item at the end of the line. I think it's probably sufficient to just add the autostart flag display to the 'virsh dominfo' command, and not the 'list' command - its not the kind of data you need to see all that often, so I think we could leave it out of the 'list' command. If we were to extend the output of 'list' I reckon I'd prioritise 'memory' and 'vcpu count' above autostart.
