Oh.  Fair enough.  I certainly didn't expect that the nbd glue is more
code than doing full usb+scsi emulation.

The qemu usb/scsi/cdrom emulation has seen years of testing.
So I wouldn't worry too much about bugs there.

That is wrong IMO.  You just have a different attack surface, for the
most part it moves from the virtualization host (the machine running
qemu) to the user's box (the machine running spice-client).

Whenever that is better or not depends much on the deployment.  With
thin clients you might be better off that way.  When the spice-client
runs on a full-blown workstation it might be a rather interesting target
to attack though.

cheers,
