If you upgrade to new libvirt, the file change time should cause us
to invalidate the cache regardless - this version check is jsut a
failsafe, so agree that ignoring missing version is fine. Conversely
though, reporting error on missing version is fine too, as that'll
force us to rebuild the cache.

ACK either way.

Daniel
