XCP doesn't need a "locking" mechanism that use the name in xenstore for
migration.

This is an unreasonable response, and I think it goes to the heart of
the problem here.

xl is a first-class caller of libxl, not some second-rate unimportant
thing.  Every requirement of xl on libxl is a real requirement.

The real problem seems to me that you are only willing to agree to
features and API properties which are useful for your "toolstacks",
and not ones which are required for xl.  This is not acceptable.

libxl has been made to "make common the low level operations of actuals toolstacks", so that every toolstacks will share the same code base to avoid code duplication and also give user more flexibility to move between toolstacks.

Any others goals you have in mind, is a part of your own goals, not libxl's. Whilst i'm happy to see more assumptions removed to have even more generic code, adding assumptions on the other-hand, related to name in this case, is a non-starter.
