[Bug 524447] Re: virsh save is very slow

[Jeff Snider]

The page you referenced doesn't include anything that I can find about
the ticket priority level.  It states that "Stable release updates will,
in general, only be issued in order to fix high-impact bugs" and
provides several examples.  Among them is "Bugs which do not fit under
above categories, [security vulnerabilities, severe regressions, or loss
of user data] but (1) have an obviously safe patch and (2) affect an
application rather than critical infrastructure packages (like X.org or
the kernel)."

I submit that this is an "obviously safe patch."  The change is small,
simple, isolated, has been tested to work, and doesn't change any
interfaces.  Is qemu-kvm considered a "critical infrastructure package"
or not?  I don't know the answer to that, but I can see valid arguments
both for and against.

I also have an example of a potential data loss situation, though it is
admittedly somewhat weak.  I'll spare everyone the narrative but I'll
share it if it would be helpful.
