Not much but to be careful when you upgrade any part of libvirt, qemu(-kvm) or 
it's (external*) dependencies like etherboot/iPXE, vgabios and seabios, 
because it can invalidate your snapshots and saved state.

(*): As Debian does for DFSG-compliance, since it replaces the seabios / 
vgabios / pxe-bios as shipped with qemu by a version compiled from 
(different) sources.

Sincerely
Philipp
