Are you suggesting we keep the default of stdio_handler = "file" or
enable virtlogd service when installing and libvirtd is enabled?

It took me a while to deal with this and it'd be a shame if everyone who
will update to 1.3.0 would have to go through that "why do I need some
new socket" phase.  Even worse if they are not following up on the
development and starting machines will just stop working.  So I agree,
but I don't have a proper solution, I guess.
