Here is the latest set of changes to the Fedora Packaging

Packages which have SysV initscripts that contain 'non-standard service

try-restart) must convert those commands into standalone helper scripts.
Systemd does not support non-standard unit commands.

I think libvirt-guests falls into this category.

The guidelines relating to PIE and Hardened Packages were updated. Now,
if your package meets the following critera you MUST enable the PIE
compiler flags:
* Your package is long running. This means it's likely to be started and
keep running until the machine is rebooted, not start on demand and quit
on idle.
* Your package has suid binaries, or binaries with capabilities.
* Your package runs as root.

libvirtd definitely qualifies as one of these packages needing PIE
compilation in our libvirt.spec file.

Don't know if any of these changes impact us, but can't hurt to audit it.
Plus, we still haven't converted our mingw specfile over to the mingw64
toolchain. Anyone up for some specfile maintenance?
