Yeah, they're just suggestions for things I could think of at the time. :)
I've previously found it annoying that virsh doesn't support "user
preference settings" for things (ie logging verbosity, other stuff). So
having a preference system of some sort would be helpful.

Actually, no. People recently seem to be looking at having
libvirtd run as a non-root user. Some parts of that I'm not sure
will work easily, but if it can be managed, then "system" type
sessions for users would be useful.

Yeah, just trying to show key = value parameters. :)

Yeah. We don't seem to add preferences, to virsh at least, unless
they're 100% critical, because it means they need to be added to
the command line. "virsh -d 5 ... " style. And no-one's gotten around
to writing up the code for preferences. :)
