If anything, that says we need to fix whatever "documented on-line" source was documenting something that we want to be obsolete; and maybe tweak qemu-img to be verbose about warning on the use of deprecated options. But this patch would go in the wrong direction of reviving intentionally undocumented code. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
