The patches for introducing virtlogd will be significantly simplified if we don't need to worry about parsing stderr during startup. This is required prior to QEMU 0.11 so that we can get the dyanamically allocated /dev/pty/NNN paths.
The QEMU 0.12.1 release was shipped in RHEL-6 vintage distros and is already quite old, so seems like a fair target version to aim for as the minimum required.
Up next... drop support for building on RHEL-5 ? :) Would mean we could simplify the RPM spec quite a bit
Yep, I think dropping RHEL-5 entirely at this point in time is pretty reasonable. It would let us kill lots of code in the legacy XenD driver too, though might not be worth the bother, since it isn't an ongoing maint burden anymore, since all work is in libxl instead.
