For what it's worth, I think this change broke GNOME Boxes build:
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/36/4270036/root.log

DEBUG util.py:257:  Error: Package: libvirt-client-0.9.13-1.fc18.i686 (build)
DEBUG util.py:257:             Requires: nc

and I indeed get:
$ repoquery --releasever=rawhide --whatprovides nc
No package provides nc

libvirt.spec has:

%package client
# So remote clients can access libvirt over SSH tunnel
# (client invokes 'nc' against the UNIX socket on the server)
Requires: nc
