+ This API is intended to aggregate several guest agent information

+ <code>virDomainListGetStats()</code>. It is anticipated that this
+ information will be provided by a guest agent

Thanks a lot for agreeing to be volunteered to take care of this ;) And since you've already spent quite some time on this, I took the liberty of addressing all of the above locally and pushing, so that you don't have to do anything else.

Dan? Yep, the traditional libvirtd is stil the default.

I would not mention OOM abort here, since that's not in this version. I'd just say that we have simiplified the dependancies of these two parts to make them self-contained. For the NSS plugin this reduces amount of code & 3rd party libs loaded into every process For the login shell this makes the thing simpler to audit for security.

I have already pushed Michal's patch, but we can fix it with a follow-up before release I think.
