Does your alias proposal give us a path forward for improving that down
the road? Or maybe it's not an alias we need, but a new field with
better QAPI-like semantics, deprecate the old one, and wait out the 2
release cycles?
Aliases can just give options an alternative name, they don't change
anything about the structure of the option. Splitting a string into
multiple values is certainly not one of the things they solve.
So if we care, adding a replacement and deprecating the old option is
probably what we would do.
