+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
