with a similar wording for systemd:

libvirtd is network-listening, libvirt-guests is not; but libvirt-guests
without libvirtd isn't quite as useful.
I'm starting to lean towards option 1 - we should install, but not
start, services.
Another wrinkle to the question:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Starting_services_by_default
documents that services must not be enabled by default if it is
network-enabled, unless it has FESCo approval. libvirtd is
network-enabled, since it can be configured to accept connections from
the outside world; but its default configuration is useful without
network configuration. Likewise, libvirt-guests is primarily useful for
only local guests, but it can be argued that since it can connect to
hypervisors over a network, it is network-enabled. Do we need to apply
for FESCo exception on either of these two services?
