Thanks for taking the time to submit this bug.

Libvirt can be used to create and start virtual machines using external
programs like kvm.  You can shut down and even remove libvirt-bin while
keeping those VMs running.  Since those VMs might be using the virbr0
bridge, the bridge is kept up until the next reboot.

Perhaps it would make sense to have libvirt shut down all its VMs when it
is removed, however as this would be a change in behavior it should be
discussed with the community.  I've marked down a note to propose this as
a UDS topic.
