Actually, ccw defaulted to transitional devices right back when we introduced support for virtio-1 - starting with QEMU 2.5. I'm not sure how many (if any) supported guest OSs (various variants of Linux) support virtio-ccw devices in legacy mode only. We can probably neglect that issue, but I would not really complain if someone submitted a patch to optionally turn off legacy support for ccw.
