My point is if you're going to add a check for 2.63
but really require 2.63 + 3 patches that Fedora has backported into
their 2.63 version which was your original proposal, this would cause
lots of headaches for every other distro out there unless they
backported those very same patches into 2.63. So better to wait for
2.64 and go forward from there. libvirt works on and targets many more
systems than Fedora.
Agreed. Upstream, libvirt should require 2.64. If Fedora (or any other
distro) cares about shipping 2.63 + patches, then they can also patch
their backport of libvirt to relax things to 2.63. But upstream cannot
assume that 2.63 is patched.
