Supporting and implementing are two different things IMHO.
It is pretty clear that *supporting* such a configuration is impossible
and that running it on production systems is a really bad idea for the
reasons outlined.
Nevertheless being able to pass random additional arguments to $emulator
is required for any serious development work. I *hate* to having to
create a wrapper script each time I need to pass in additional
parameters, and I'd *love* to see libvirt being a bit more developer
friendly.
Making it friendlier to those like me who want to transition existing
VMs into a libvirt-managed environment would be nice, too. Eventually I
might figure out how to do what I need without those extra options, but
for now, I just need the system to work.
