To clarify: that was a not-so-recent downstream change. I have an *old* 
downstream patch for libvirtd.sysconf that adds some (likely no longer required) 
SUSE metadata. I don't really recall why or how '--listen' ended up in 
LIBVIRTD_ARGS in that patch. And even though I removed it from the patch nearly 
2 years ago, it is still biting me in the ass today :-).

That said, I like the trend of moving stuff owned by packages out of /etc and 
might remove these files from the downstream SUSE package regardless of the 
outcome here.

Regards,
Jim
