I'm not concerned about the brief period of time between Kristina's
and Tim's patches were merged, but about any subtle changes in
behavior that might still be lingering even after a year.

That said, I have just finished auditing all uses of
virXMLPropTristate*() and I don't think I can find the strength in me
to go through the same process again for virXPath*() - at least not
right away.

So let's just hope that the lack of bug reports is an accurate
indicator of the lack of significant regressions, I guess :)
