Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] libvirt: remove link to outdated mailing list post

The virConnectGetType() method has an unfortunate signature, returning a static string that must not be freed by the caller. The remote driver, however, gets this string dynamically over an RPC call, which raised a design discussion on the mailing list. Eventually the problem was resolved by having the remote driver cache the returned string internally and free it when the connection was closed. The link to the mailing list is thus talking about a problem that does not actually exist in the final implementation, and at best serves to confuse the reader into thinking there might be a memory leak.
