Oh, do you mean we not only put this to version after 0.9.0 but also we
add some new things to this as well?

Is my patch good for this and will we just merge it to "after 0.9.0"
version or should we rewrite it entirely once it's OK? Since I don't
work in libvirt team maybe I won't be working on this one (unless
somebody ask me to do it) so based on this fact I'm not primarily
working in the libvirt team I may not know about whether work on this
one is on or not so maybe it's good if you ask me to work on this when
it's on or lead the assigned engineer to ask me about this.
