V1 here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2021-January/msg00922.html

A short version of the cover letter from V1: this is a followup to my
proposal to stop using netcf for the interface driver backend in
Fedora/RHEL/CentOS builds and use the udev backend instead (it turns
out Ubuntu already disabled netcf in 2018).

Changes in V2:

* removed the patch that made the default netcf=disabled even when
   netcf-devel was found on the host. If someone has netcf-devel
   installed and still wants to build without netcf, then can add
   "-Dnetcf=disabled" on the meson commandline.

* Made the specfile changes more intelligent:

   * instead of hardcoding -Dnetcf=disabled, we now have a variable
     %{with_netcf} that is set to 1 for current Fedora (< 34) and current
     RHEL (< 9) but will be set to 0 for future Fedora/RHEL. This way the
     behavior on current OS releases will remain the same even for future
     libvirt.

   * it is possible to for netcf support off even in current/older OS
     releases by adding "--without netcf" to the rpmbuild commandline.

I think at this point I would be comfortable pushing these patches, unless 
someone has misgivings about it...

Laine Stump (2):
   build: support explicitly disabling netcf
   rpm: disable netcf for the interface driver in rpm build on new
     targets
