Your previous approach seems preferable. The gist of the discussion before was that deprecating old commands in the same release cycle as introducing the replacement might be problematic if libvirt wants to adapt ASAP and that the new command should be elevated to a intermediate tier of stability, where ACK from libvirt is needed to change it during the same release cycle incompatibly. That was meant generally for any command, and was started because we had a similar issue recently. My intention definitely was not to change the patch itself, but more a process change so that we can keep cooperating on new stuff rapidly, but without actually breaking what we do.
