I already have a patch for this that I'm about to push that has a "more descriptive description" :-).
OK. I will remove that patch in my series On Sat, Nov 9, 2019 at 12:34 AM Laine Stump <laine@redhat.com> wrote:

Sort of. While the immediate motivation is for internal use, I can imagine scenarios where mgmt apps might want to use this too. It applies to any case where one process connecting to libvirt is doing work on behalf of a user with different privileges. Consider a web app running under httpd account, but authenticating its client users. It wants libvirt APIs it invokes to have access control checks done against the web client user's identity instead of its own. It would be appropriate for the app to use the new virConnectSetIdentity API call in this case.

Well, excluding developers and testers, few people use libvirt directly by APIs. Since libvirt is also a library, it is worthwhile to mention updates on public APIs in release notes even it is supposed for internal implementation.
