Re: [PATCH v4 5/5] block: Deprecate transaction type drive-backup

Several moons ago, Vladimir posted Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] qapi: deprecate drive-backup Date: Wed, 5 May 2021 16:58:03 +0300 Message-Id: <20210505135803.67896-4-vsementsov(a)virtuozzo.com&gt; https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2021-05/msg01394.html with this TODO: We also need to deprecate drive-backup transaction action.. But union members in QAPI doesn't support 'deprecated' feature. I tried to dig a bit, but failed :/ Markus, could you please help with it? At least by advice? This is one way to resolve it. Sorry it took so long.

John explored another way, namely adding feature flags to union branches. Could also be useful, say to add different features to branches in multiple unions sharing the same tag enum.
