There are various ideas / plans floating around for future libvirt work, some of which is actively in progress. Historically we've never captured this kind of information anywhere, except in mailing list discussions. In particular guidelines in hacking.html.in don't appear until a policy is actively applied. This patch attempts to fill the documentation gap, by creating a new "strategy" page which outlines the general vision for some notable future changes. The key thing to note is that none of the stuff on this page is guaranteed, plans may change as new information arises. IOW this is a "best guess" as to the desired future. This doc has focused on three areas, related to the topic of language usage / consolidation - Use of non-C languages for the library, daemons or helper tools - Replacement of autotools with meson - Use of RST and Sphinx for documentation (website + man pages) Reviewed-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Andrea Bolognani <abologna@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
