+        </summary>
+        <description>
+          For some time libvirt required qemu capabilities being present when
+          parsing VM configs during startup. As a side effect VM configs would
+          fail to parse and thus vanish, if the emulator binary would be
+          uninstalled or broken. Libvirt now tolerates when capabilities
+          are missing during startup.
