Alternatively, what functionality will we lose if libvirt is build without netcf?

That's what ./configure tells me for libvirt. Quick google has it that this is used by libvirt to configure network interfaces on the physical host.
So keeping netcf support would be a good thing for folks having e.g. bridged network setups using libvirt, which is quite common if one virtualizes is complete server environment.
