rpcbind is enabled by default, and gnome-boxes requires it

I don't know whether this should be a gnome-boxes bug, an rpcbind bug,
or a FESCo ticket, or something else, so I'm asking here.
rpcbind enables itself by default. This page says that it has a
specific exception, so it's okay:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Starting_services_by_default
I assume that the exception comes from the idea that server systems
probably want it on if they've installed it. That may make sense in
some contexts.
Alas, libvirt-daemon-kvm requires libvirt-daemon-driver-storage, which
requires nfs-utils, and nfs-utils requires rpcbind.
gnome-boxes, in turn, requires libvirt-daemon-kvm, resulting in this:
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:111 0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN 774/rpcbind
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:20048 0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN 887/rpc.mountd
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:875 0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN 930/rpc.rquotad
*on my laptop*
IMO this is bad. Should I file a FESCo ticket asking to revoke the
rpcbind and nfs-utils exceptions? Should I file a bug against
libvirt?
