I don't know. But since there are some releases which would store data
under slirpStateDir I don't think we can change this. On daemon
restart (with newer version) the new libvirtd wouldn't see the old dir.
It would need to be done carefully, but it's not out of the question:
There was previously a case where we had been storing the network state
files in an incorrect location (/var/lib/libvirt) (starting in commit
23a090ab92 - libvirt-0.6.0 in 2009), and moved them to a more proper
location (/var/run/libvirt) (commit b9e95491d1 - libvirt 1.2.4 in 2014).
At the time the move was made, we also added a code to
networkStateInitialize() that looked for files in the old location and
moved them to the new location. This code remained in place, at first
doing its job whenever someone upgraded, and then silently doing nothing
for a very long time, until 5 years later when it was removed in commit
43be65a4817f - libvirt 5.1.0. (probably could have been removed much
earlier than that, but it had just been forgotten.)
