Hmm, so I see that discussion stalled after I asked a few questions, and 
then you (Jim) made a few suggestions about where the attribute should 
go and what it should be named. (note for newcomers - the original patch 
messages linked above were at the end of April, but the replies 
discussing them were in May, so they don't show up directly in the 
primitive mailman archive page for the original messages; to see them 
you need to go here:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2020-May/thread.html

then search for "permissive" in the page - this will show you followups 
to all the original patch mails.


I'm not sure who should be pushing the discussion/decision - I've 
already said my piece, and would be just as happy with anything as long 
as it doesn't interfere with usage for qemu. Maybe someone else has a 
stronger opinion.
