Mh, I don't see why that would happen.
The Requires relationship goes in the opposite direction,
so if libvirt-guests was not running before the upgrade
there should be no reason for it to be started, whether
that relationship is there or not.
I'll try to reproduce this on my machine and get back to
you in a while.
I tried upgrading from 2.2.0 to 2.3.0 a bunch of times, but
I haven't been able to reproduce the failure you're
reporting: libvirt-guests is never started automatically.
Can you provide more information? What distribution are
you using? Are you building from source, or using your
distribution's packages? Are you sure libvirt-guests was
not running even before upgrade?
