Yes. > The only downside would be backend instance name in global name space. Two possibilities here: (1) accept that -object has a global namespace (2) in the aforementioned interface that helps command-line processing, add a method that returns the place where the object should be added in the QOM object tree. For memdevs this can return /backend/memdev. Paolo
