Re: [libvirt] [PATCH][RFC] adding a title to the domain description informations

The idea is that currently we have only the domain name usable as a description for the domain. It is not really a good human readable identifier, as the kind of string allowed is limited (no space for example). The idea would then be to extend the existing <description> field in the domain XML to keep 40 or less character string to describe a domain and provide that information later for example in an extended virsh list command or for other interfaces. While the idea is simple, see attached patch for this, it becomes more complex when one tries to make accessors to set/get that title for a domain, since it's mutable and possibly could be coming from the hypervisor itself (is there anything like this in VMWare or VirtualBox?) it should to be implemented down at the driver level. Is that worth the effort ? If we go that route should we do this for other objects (network, storage, etc ...) too in the end ? here is a basic patch for just the XML side to give an idea, but adding APIs is far more work. Opinions ?
