One has to wonder about the subtle implications though. Why didn't they name it the SPICE console? :D Anyway, this doesn't seem to change the situation at all then? From SPICE PoV, it matters little if it's a QXL device or this (non-)VNC console. It's a VGA-like device that has it's own display channel.
