with this
TODO: We also need to deprecate drive-backup transaction action..
But union members in QAPI doesn't support 'deprecated' feature. I tried
to dig a bit, but failed :/ Markus, could you please help with it? At
least by advice?
This is one way to resolve it. Sorry it took so long.
John explored another way, namely adding feature flags to union
branches. Could also be useful, say to add different features to
branches in multiple unions sharing the same tag enum.

(with simplified commit message of course :)
Your "[PATCH v2 0/3] qapi & doc: deprecate drive-backup" series contains
docs/block-replication: use blockdev-backup
docs/interop/bitmaps: use blockdev-backup
qapi: deprecate drive-backup
I figure proper deprecation needs all that, i.e. we need to merge my RFC
patch into your 3/3. Could you take care of that?
Of course, but it depend on your 1-4..
Oops, I missed the fact that your 1-4 already applied to master. I will make a pull request with deprecations now, may be it's still applicable for 6.2
