I was not aware that all chardev backed devices should be able to use network backend. Does this mean I can simple extend the DomainChardevSource, add the required options and there will be no naming conflict? If so, this would mean there is no need for a breaking change. If you would be so kind to confirm the above, I will send in a new patch with the additional fields.
