That way, we can still easily remove old cruft (case (a)), but still accommodate cases like this (case (c)). The obvious drawback is that we'd need someone to curate the deprecation watchlist, to poke the users we're waiting for, and probably remove anyway after some time if they don't get their act together.
The problem is that things are only starting to move after two releases have passed.
Right, so clearly just "put a note in the documentation" isn't sufficient advertisement/prodding of things going away. (Also, two releases is pretty fast. Many of our users will be using distro packaged versions of QEMU which will lag further behind than bleeding-edge users. The system version of QEMU on my desktop machine is 2.5...) thanks -- PMM
