Since we're changing our template, would it make sense to request users
to at least attempt to reproduce on something recent? I've seen reports
with ~3 years old libvirt. And given the pace libvirt's development is
moving it's very likely that the issue is fixed. And even if it wasn't -
we stop wasting our time trying to reproduce on current master only to
find out the issue was fixed a while ago.

I understand that some distros move slowly, but usually their users file
bugs against distro bugzilla.
