This was in fact one release longer than our deprecation policy says. Are we serious about the deprecation policy or aren't we? I might consider reverting a change if it turned out that this requires some massive work in libvirt. But I think this one should be rather easy to fix in libvirt until 3.0 is released. > > Sadly, it also shows that deprecation warnings in log files go > > unnoticed. > > In fact whoever added the deprication notice should have followed up > with the libvirt team to implement that change. no? I expect the libvirt developers to read the QEMU Changelog at least for incompatible changes and deprecations. We can't reasonably go and hunt for developers for every management tool for QEMU that exists. And anyway, if you come across a deprecation warning, that's the time you should act, not only when it finally breaks.
