Actually there are a *lot* of very good bugfixes in 0.8.1. If you're 
upgrading, you might as well go all the way.

I don't know that there are pre-built packages for F11 anywhere; the 
quickest route to upgrading may be to get the source and build it (there 
are a few dependencies you'll need to install). (I also haven't tried 
putting libvirt 0.8.1 on F11, as I don't have any machiens left running 
it; it's possible there is a dependency in the new libvirt that isn't 
available with yum on F11, and you would have to build *that* package 
from source as well. If that happens, you'll just need to make a 
decision about when it becomes less useful to continue ;-)
