See this long standing bug:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1166657

also searching this ML for "autostart" and "VM"

turns up this same discussion every few months.

sadly no dev seems to grasp the importance of this feature, so it's
always rationalsed that it's not needed or the HA feature is enough (it
isn't).

I don't know why the already implemented libvirt autostart feature
does not get simply passed through.

This feature was at least requested by 4 or 5 different people, to no avail.

you might CC yourself to the bugreport(RFE) and vote on it, maybe
this way it will get some traction.

kind regards

Sven
