* libxl: Implement the virDomainGetMessages API
+ * packaging: sysconfig files no longer installed
+
+ libvirt used to provide defaults in various /etc/sysconfig/ files, such
+ as /etc/sysconfig/libvirtd. Since these files are owned by the admin, this
+ made it difficult to change built-in defaults in case such file was
+ modified by the admin. The built-in defaults are now part of the provided
+ systemd unit files, such as libvirtd.service. These unit files continue
+ to parse sysconfig files, in case they are created by the admin and filled
+ with the desired key=value pairs.
