We need to drop it.
Blockjobs are much more flexible. We want to get rid of the whole
concept of block migration inside the migration protocol/machinery.
Block migration requires that one:
- migrate all devices, i.e. no way to select some shared some local.
- I think that incremental bit requires that you use qcow2 images, but I
haven't even double checked them.
I just want to drop it in the near future, if 9.0 is too soon, for
10.0.
Later, Juan.
