[libvirt] [PATCH] Give other software a fair chance

Libvirt's so good, so solid that it almost feels like other
software stand no chance. Other applications are buggy, unstable,
crashing, etc. But not libvirt. Therefore, it seems only fair
that we introduce some bugs so developers of the other
applications don't feel that bad.
