I agree that some agent code for basic stuff like live snapshot
sync with the filesystem is small enough and worth to host within

No, please. That's exactly what I don't want to see. The
libvirt/qemu/virt-man split is killing us already. How is this going
to become with 20 driver packs for the guest?
Agreed. Not relying on Mata Hari and reinventing a dbus/WMI interface
would be yet another case of QEMU NIH. The same argument also works on
the backend BTW, it can be virtio serial but also a Xen pvconsole and
that wheel should not be reinvented either.
The guest agent should be a pluggable architecture, and QEMU can provide
plugins for sync, spice, "info balloon" and everything else it needs.
