Sorry, I should have been more clear. virt-install and virt-clone are NOT
GOING AWAY. They will live in the virt-manager repo and and there will be zero
change in their behavior. virt-install is forever a stable API.

The change is that the backing 'virtinst' code will not be a publicly
accessible python module, it will be code private to virt-* tools. This should
have zero visible impact for uses of virt-*.
