Last time *your* argument was that the API would get too big. Now why isn't that argument valid anymore? I'm honestly asking for an explanation on this point, and I do expect you have it.
You are confusing internal API with external API. The external API has scalability issues because it is a long term supported ABI. The internal API size is irrelevant because we can & will change that at will. The domain XML handling API is internal only for in-tree drivers. So there has been no change in policy wrt to the external API
Is an external tool able to use the internal XML handling (from a C perspective?) or isn't this code exported to the shared library? Stefan ps. Sorry if you thought I was trying to virtualize a troll.
