+Attach method for disconnected operation
+----------------------------------------
+
+http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#guestfs_set_attach_method
+
+"Librarian" has an idea that he should be able to attach to a regular
+appliance, but disconnect from it and reconnect to it later. This
+would be some sort of modified attach method (see link above).
+
+The complexity here is that we would no longer have access to
+stdin/stdout (or we'd have to direct that somewhere else).
+
+GObject Introspection
+---------------------
+
+We periodically get asked to implement gobject-introspection (it's a
+GNOME thing):
+
+http://live.gnome.org/GObjectIntrospection
+
+This would require a separate Gtk C API since the main guestfs handle
+would have to be encapsulated in a GObject. However the main
+difficulty is that the annotations supported to define types are not
+very rich. Notably missing are support for optional arguments
+(defined but not implemented), support for structs (unless mapped to
+other objects).
+
+Also note that the libguestfs API is not "object oriented".

+libosinfo mappings for virt-inspector

+
+virt-sysprep ideas
+------------------
+
+ - touch /.unconfigured ?
+ - smolt ID
+ - Spacewalk / RHN ID
+ - Kerberos keys
+ - Puppet registration
+ - user accounts
+ - Windows sysprep
+ (see: https://github.com/clalancette/oz/blob/e74ce83283d468fd987583d6837b441608e5f8f0/oz/Windows.py )
+ - blue skies: change the background image
+ - (librarian suggests ...)
+ . install a firstboot script virt-sysprep --script=/tmp/foo.sh
+ . run an external shell script
+ . run external guestfish script virt-sysprep --fish=/tmp/foo.fish
+ - log files (thanks Steve Grubb)
+ . as well as the obvious log files, also
+ utmp/wtmp/btmp/tallylog and pam_faillock's data files
+ - RNG seed (Steve Grubb)
+ - homedirs/.ssh directory, especially /root/.ssh (Steve Grubb)
+ - if drives are encrypted, then dm-crypt key should be changed
+ and drives all re-encrypted
+ - /etc/pki
+ (Steve says ...)
+ Rpm uses nss. Nss sets up its crypto database in
+ /etc/pki. Depending on how long the machine ran before cloning, you
+ may have picked up some certificates or things. This is an area
+ that you would want to look into.
+ - secure erase of inodes etc using scrub (Steve Grubb)
+ - touch /.autorelabel if we create any new files (thanks Dan Berrange)
+ - should we use guestmount instead of guestfish
+ and would that make it easier to run the tool inside VMs?
+ - other directories that could require cleaning include:
+ /var/lib/dhcpd/*
+ /var/lib/dhclient/*
+ /var/cache/gdm/*
+ /var/lib/fprint/*
+ /var/run/*
+ /var/spool/mail/*
+ /var/spool/cron/*
+ /var/lib/AccountService/users/*
+ /var/cache/yum/*
+ /var/lib/yum/* (only /var/lib/yum/uuid)
+ /var/lib/sss/db/*
+ /var/lib/samba/*
+ /var/lib/samba/*/*
