I was thinking about not following the names exactly but on the other hand it may leads into a confusion especially when we have the non-flags version of the same API. I personally don't like the API names and I would gladly remove the suffix from the D-Bus API names, but it may lead into a confusion about which libvirt API is used under the hood. Sure, the API takes flags so it will be probably the flags version, but we as libvirt developers know this fact, on the other hand users might not realize that. If we decide not to follow the libvirt API names, we should probably somehow document which libvirt API is used. Pavel
