That's not the case—it's not enabled by default on any controller (my
previous e-mail shows this for a guest with VirtIO SCSI), and virtio-blk
doesn't even support the feature.

While emulating drives as solid-state could very well be a good *default*
in the future, it should probably remain a setting because we don't want to
change (and potentially break) people's existing guests.
