I don't feel too strongly about this, but it is annoying and contrary to how Arch handles config changes in general. I make a habit of removing the symlink /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/autostart/default.xml. Can the maintainer please consider removing this symlink from the package and adding it via the install script, post_install, which already exists?
This task depends upon

Will it work if you leave symlink but edit /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml removing these settings?

default.xml is in backup array and should not be overwritten by upgrade.

I symlinked networks/default.xml to /dev/null. There are some complaints by libvirtd, but it moves on.

Ok, it should also work if you edit default.xml. Symlink created by upstream "make install", so I mark it as "not a bug".
