I agree with this. But the default should be different for servers and desktops/laptops. > I haven't checked for other virtulisation methods, but I imagine it is > similar.

The existence of virbr0 convinces the Xen startup script, in the default configuration, not to do its own networking arrangements. Instead, since there is already a bridge, it causes all the VMs to use it, on the principle that if there is a bridge it should probably be used.
