The libvirt-daemon-driver-qemu RPM has historically had a hard dependency on the libvirt-daemon-driver-network and libvirt-daemon-driver-storage-core packages. This was because the QEMU driver would directly call into APIs that were part of these drivers. The dependency to the storage driver was eliminated in commit 064fec69be4a4673e0df17b007bf781026c3b4b2 Author: Daniel P.
