The man page states that with --config the next boot is affected. This can be understood as if _only_ the next bood was affected. This isn't true if the machine is running.
This patch adds the full --live, --config, --current infrastructure and tweaks stuff to correctly support the obsolete --persistent flag. ---
Notes: - This patch will be greatly simplified with macros from: http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-March/msg00268.html
- There are multiple places like this in virsh that will need update too. (detach-device for example)
I agree that the way the options work in the various commands is inconsistent and it would be nice if that wasn't the case, but fixing it is a road fraught with perils. Keep in mind that there are likely already scripts written and deployed using the current meaning of the flags.
