We might want to point out that things like SELinux support and identity passing are not implemented yet, so distributions will probably want to hold off using the split daemons by default for a little while longer... Dan?
Yep, the traditional libvirtd is stil the default. We should say that the split daemons are "experimental" at this stage.

In order to allow libvirt to abort on out of memory, we need to stop linking...
I would not mention OOM abort here, since that's not in this version. I'd just say that we have simiplified the dependancies of these two parts to make them self-contained. For the NSS plugin this reduces amount of code & 3rd party libs loaded into every process For the login shell this makes the thing simpler to audit for security.
