He already gave you his opinion: We can't make those assumptions in
libosinfo. While Boxes may or may not be the primary user of
libosinfo, we need to keep the API generic enough for other apps too.
We can't leave this as is since this will be broken for every other
app but Boxes. Also things don't remain the same in Boxes so the next
time the VM configuration code changes, nobody would remember to
update this code in libosinfo and we'll have mysterious issues at our
hand.
