I'll be fine if Stefan and Kevin override me, but yes, I think consistency is important. qemu-img has offline functionality equivalent to block jobs, and it is useful to keep qemu-img subcommands as consistent as possible between them and with the corresponding HMP commands. convert is the equivalent of the online mirroring block job.
