Wait, what? From my perspective the whole point of the plugin interface is that it should be stable, in that at least there's a good chance that a plugin you built will work against multiple versions of QEMU, and if it doesn't then it should fail with a reasonable error message telling you to update. I'm not sure we should be landing the plugins infrastructure if we don't have that much stability. thanks -- PMM
