Is there a discussion about how to continue for the future? I remember Michal starting some discussion, but I'm not sure whether that was about the same thing. Anyway, that's just a rhetorical question so that I can say the two ideas I have: 1) Just increase the limit over time. Computers and networks are getting faster, there's more storage space and memory, and so on. It only makes sense to do scale other things respectively. 2) Have a new API that streams the data back over virStream. We can then do it continuously (like every X seconds), that might help management apps as well because I suspect that's how they use this API anyway.
