If yes, then do we deprecate it only for x86 or for all archs? Maybe for all archs, otherwise this has the potential to turn into a mess. > Markus, Eric: from the QAPI point of view, is it OK to remove > fields between QEMU versions, as long as we follow our > deprecation policy? I guess we can't remove fields, but maybe we could always return "running" and skip interrupting the vCPU threads. -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
