Regarding this specific point, I think it is maybe more likely a
documentation oversight that they haven't updated that reference to
include 1.9+. The continuation of the line mentioning supported
versions says "We only test with the upstream version! If you decide
to install your distros version and you run into problems, as a first
step you should switch to upstream." The lead contributor also seems
to have closed an issue against the 'latest' vagrant on CentOS 7 a few
days ago [1].

Just thought I'd mention it, but I agree that the compatibility table
suggests the earlier versions would be more stable. Additionally, I
don't use libvirt anyway, so I will be quiet now :)
