You know if this checking for guests were done in the virNetworkDestroy
API implementation in src/network/bridge_driver.c, instead of in
virsh, then we would not need any of this code for extending the XML
nor parsing it in virsh. We could simply check the number of connections
which is something we have directly available internally. So 95% of this
patch series would go away
:-C I'm sad...... :-), Anyway, Because we keep the original behaviour of
net-destroy, So we keep iface-unbridge no changes as well, Then droping
this patch series makes sense.
