Ah, Dan already just posted patches for both the above issues:

    https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2017-May/msg00295.html
    -- remote: increase max storage pools, nwfilters & snapshots to
    16384

    https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2017-May/msg00293.html
    -- rpc: improve error message for bounds check

Thanks!
