But that image won't be auto-updated the next time the master is
updated. Besides, under sVirt protections of libvirt, libvirt would
have to pre-create the file (because libvirt intentionally denies qemu
the ability to create files), so libvirt would have to be aware of the
default. It's not much harder to make libvirt aware of handling a split
image, and a split image is easier to handle than having to copy the
default into a destination.
