Issues
VM with macvtap and hotpluggable volume(s) fail to start https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/issues/17392
Default network interface is not persisted in VM spec, causing reconciliation issues https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/issues/17331
Consider recommending not to use default auto injected interface
Network hotplug and hotunplug are not gated by VMRolloutStrategy https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/issues/17328
Hotplug features incorrectly depend on workloadUpdateMethods configuration https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/issues/17329
