This is to inform what IPs belong to some VM, even powered off. This
way, firewall can prevent someone spoofing IP of a not running VM
(because it knows that IP cannot come from anywhere else).

This is a very good question. I think the most user-friendly thing to
do, is to include all the external interfaces (network manager will
add several default gateways, just with different priorities). Maybe
later it can be made configurable, but I wouldn't worry about it right
now.
