[Users] Network profile lost after host edit

[Lior Vernia]

Hi Simon,

Thank you so much for tracking this down. I'm currently immersed in
oVirt 3.4 feature stuff, but I just wanted to let you know I saw this
and am planning to take care of it; I'll take a look in a week or two
when things calm down.

The bad news are, I suspect there will be no workaround other than
upgrading to the next version that will include the fix (likely 3.3.3).

Yours, Lior.
