As long as QEMU supports -M ? it should not be a problem. The -M option is not scraped from -help output.
If -M is going away, then libvirt _should_ scrape -help output to see whether to use -M or -machine, rather than blindly using -M.
-M going away will take a while (and will likely never happen).
While that may be true, we've already been bitten in the past by using undocumented commands. See for example commit e997c268efd, where qemu-img silently quit supporting -e, but libvirt had been using it under the assumption that it would continue to work. I'll work up a patch for this. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
