This isn't something that can simply be fixed in libvirt in rawhide
because you need to consider cross-version compatibility. Every
existing deployed version of libvirt in every distro will be unable
to connect to rawhide, even if we changed libvirt in rawhide to use
socat.

I believe using a tool that works the same on every system,
such as the suggested socat, would be the right thing to do in
the future libvirt releases.
About the current breakage -- I'd prefer adding UNIX sockets
support to ncat over reviving nc. I'll see what can be done
there.
