It isn't so compelling right now, but once we split libvirtd into one daemon per driver, it will be more useful to use the specific URIs if wanting to use the secondary drivers. It will let us containerize the daemons separately. It will also allow the use of real networking for the qemu://session daemon without setuid helpers. eg virt-manager can connect to network:///system to setup networking, to go with its connection to qemu:///session.
