The OS type information is only intended to be used for the initial VM provisioning step, primarily to assist in handling the install media, and as a secondary task to help choose some sensible default settings. Post-install, adminstrators are intended to have full control over all settings without virt-manager second guessing them. As such OS type is irrelevant post-install - the administrator should decide what NIC type is relevant for them. Furthermore, even if we wanted to store OS type we can't because some of the hypervisors we have to handle do not support such a concept as a persistent setting. |
