[libvirt] why doesn't libvirt let qemu autostart live-migrated VMs?

Hi,

I've been digging through the libvirt code and something that struck me 
was that it appears that when using qemu libvirt will migrate the 
instance with autostart disabled, then sit on the source host 
periodically polling for migration completion, then once the host 
detects that migration is completed it will tell the destination to 
start up the VM.

Why don't we let the destination autostart the VM once migration is 
complete?
