+          Disallow using a qcow encrypted volume for the guest and
+          disallow creation of the qcow or default encrypted volume
+          from the storage driver. Support for qcow encrypted volumes
+          has been phasing out since QEMU 2.3 and by QEMU 2.9 creation
+          of a qcow encrypted volume via qemu-img required usage of
+          secret objects, but that support was never added to libvirt.
