Isn't this an internal change not really used for consumption of clients?
Not really. Try it yourself:
virsh -c network:///system net-list --all
Well, that obviously has to work. But it's not exactly useful for general usage:
$ virsh -c network:///system list --all error: Failed to list active domains error: this function is not supported by the connection driver: virConnectNumOfDomains
[...]
Note that in general we don't promise *any* API is supported by *any* URI. The set of APIs provided by any given driver are documented in our page https://libvirt.org/hvsupport.html So the fact that the network:/// URI doesn't support the listing of domains is not a bug. It is just an expected gap in the support matrix for that driver. IOW, this is largely a documentation task - I still need to provide docs for the secondary drivers to describe this better.
