The libvirt *tooling* can't do anything about it, but the libvirt
*documentation* can. Rather than changing your firewall rules without
telling you (!!!), libvirt should just document what network traffic
requirements it has, and let you update your firewall appropriately
yourself.

For example, [1] is the documentation from OpenShift explaining what
sort of node-to-node traffic needs to be allowed, so people creating
their own firewalls (via any technology) can avoid blocking critical
cluster traffic.
