I would not rush to remove things. If we're going to go through a deprecation process, we should start with a proposal on what things should be removed and go from there. I still don't even think -netdev is the right answer here either. Wouldn't it make more sense to have something like: qemu -vnic tap,script=/foo/myscript Or something vaguely understandable by a human?
